The American Institute of Architects (AIA) College of Fellows inaugurated Edward J. Kodet, Jr., FAIA, as its 2010 Chancellor.
In this prestigious leadership role, he will focus on the areas of Fellowship, mentorship and research.
Founder and president of Kodet Architectural Group, Ltd. in Minneapolis, Mr. Kodet has practiced architecture for nearly 40 years and combines the knowledge and skills of his academic and professional careers.
Of the AIA's 80,000 members, the AIA College of Fellows includes approximately 2,700 members from across the globe.
Fellows are selected by their peers for making a significant contribution to architecture and society, and for achieving a standard of excellence in the profession.
"Fellowship in the American Institute of Architects is one of the highest honors that could be bestowed upon a member," said Mr. Kodet, who received his Fellowship status in 1994.
Mr. Kodet has initiated many new programs and grants that have advanced the AIA College of Fellows' role in supporting emerging architects' professional development and success.
In December 2009, he assumed his current responsibilities as Chancellor, which include presiding at the annual business meeting, Executive Committee meetings and Convocation of Fellows.
He also will lead the esteemed Latrobe Prize, a $100,000 grant for research on sustainable design in the urban environment.
