As we continue to draw inspiration from the grandeur and excellence of the Paris Olympics, let's reflect once more on the parallels between the world of sports and the residential design industry.
​
​Update: With two days left, the USA and China are tied for the most gold medals, 30 each.
​
Olympic athletes reach the pinnacle of their careers through dedication, training, and guidance. Most of them have trained for most of their lives.
​
They are the most elite athletes in the world. Many are repeat Olympians, and some are repeat medal winners.
​
​Yet they all still have coaches.
​​
You, too, can elevate your design skills with mentorship from the best in our field, regardless of where you are in your career.
​
In residential design, the AIBD College of Fellows are our "gold medal winners."
​​
These distinguished professionals, recognized by the gold medallions they proudly wear, represent our industry's highest standards of excellence and achievement.
​
Their wealth of knowledge and experience is invaluable; why wouldn't you want to learn directly from them? Mentorship has long been a cornerstone of professional growth, offering insights beyond textbooks and traditional education.
​
It provides a personalized learning experience tailored to your unique goals and challenges.
​
Over the years, mentorship has evolved, embracing new technologies and methodologies to offer more dynamic and interactive learning experiences.
​
Today, it is more accessible than ever, allowing for flexible and meaningful engagements that can significantly impact your career trajectory.
​
​We are excited to announce that several Fellows have volunteered to mentor aspiring designers like you.

This is a unique chance to gain insights and guidance from those who have shaped the industry.
​
To take advantage of this opportunity, we encourage you to visit AIBD.org/College-of-Fellows and schedule a one-on-one session with a Fellow.
​
Embrace this opportunity to learn from the best and propel your career to new heights. Just as athletes rely on their coaches to refine their skills and achieve greatness, you too can benefit from the wisdom and guidance of our esteemed Fellows.
