About the Fellows Recognition Program
The Fellows of SMPS represent the highest level of experience and leadership in marketing within the design and building industry. The 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 architectural/engineering/construction industry.
Only members who have been active in the Society for more than 10 years and who hold a current Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) designation are qualified to apply for the Fellows Recognition Program each winter. Fellows are selected by a jury of Fellows appointed by the Fellows Delegate to the National Board of Directors and honored during Build Business, the SMPS National Conference.
