Each year the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) recognizes individuals who, through their tenure with SMPS, experience in marketing in the A/E/C industry, and current certification designation (CPSM) have contributed to the development of marketing professional services within our industry. Peter A. Lyon, FSMPS, Fellows Delegate on the SMPS National Board of Directors, has extended an invitation to all eligible members to apply this year for recognition as a Fellow of SMPS.

The SMPS Fellows represent the highest level of experience and leadership in marketing and business development within the built and natural environments. Fellows serve as a resource at the chapter, regional, and national levels, providing insight, ideas, programs, and mentoring for the benefit of the members and the Society. In addition, these individuals teach, write, and speak on marketing issues outside of SMPS, working to advance the profession of marketing professional services throughout the A/E/C industry. The Fellow designation is bestowed upon only those marketing professionals who give generously of their time, talents, and experience to the industry and to the Society, and who intend to continue this commitment to excellence.

Only members who have been active in the Society for more than 10 years and who hold a current certification designation (CPSM) are qualified to apply for the Fellows Recognition Program. The application requirements are rigorous and adhere to the high standards set forth for Fellow recognition. To be considered, applications for Fellow recognition must be received in the SMPS National Office by Friday, March 31, 2006.
