At the Summer Board Meeting in July, the TxA Board accepted the 2023 Slate of Officers as presented by the Nominating Committee. The next step in the process is the official vote by our members at the Annual Business Meeting, which will be held at the 83rd Annual Conference & Design Expo in El Paso on Thursday, October 27.

How is it that our most experienced and accomplished members, Members of the College of Fellows, are not represented on the TxA board? There are two Associate Members and one non-architect public member, but no Fellows. The Nominating Committee should include efforts to recruit, if necessary, at least one Fellow for every slate submitted to help balance an executive committee that seems heavily weighted to mid-to-early career membership. Senior leadership within the profession seems not to be included here.
