NAAB Seeks Nominations from ACSA, AIA, AIAS, and NCARB for Board Directors and Team Pool Nominations

Accreditation Visiting Team Pool

Each visiting team consists of at least four individuals, each of whom represents one of the four constituent areas of expertise: a practitioner, an educator, a regulator, and a student, all selected from the team pool.

Individuals should have a demonstrated interest in architecture education and be current in the range of skills necessary for contemporary practice. Nominees should have excellent written and verbal communication skills and have the ability to work effectively in teams. NAAB encourages individuals from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in our profession to apply.

Important information:

  • Team Training – Nominees will be required to complete NAAB’s team training program prior to participating on a visiting team.
  • Availability – Team members must be available for all the pre-site visit meetings in addition to being fully present for all the days of the visit, which will be in-person starting in 2024. Spring visits generally occur between late January and early April of each year; fall visits are typically scheduled between late September and early November.
  • Team Selection – In comprising a site visit team, NAAB will consider individual areas of expertise, availability for the established visit dates, and will balance each team in terms of geography, gender, race/ethnicity, and accreditation experience.
