CMAA College of Fellows

The Fellows designation is one of the highest honors that CMAA can bestow on an individual. The College of Fellows mission is to represent a diverse community of industry leaders who lend their knowledge and insight to the strategic issues facing the industry and the construction management profession; to identify and assist in the development of future leaders; and to take an active role in the mission of CMAA.
 

Fellows Scholarship Fund

The Fellows Scholarship Fund was established to aid students pursuing postsecondary education that is intended to lead to a construction management career. Students must be enrolled at institutions based in the U.S. that are accredited by a U.S. regional accrediting agency.
 
This endowed scholarship is given annually in recognition of those Fellows who have gone before. Criteria for awarding scholarships are set by the Foundation Board of Directors, who will also review applications and make the selections; the program is managed by the Foundation’s staff.

Career Guide

Several of the CMAA College of Fellows were instrumental in creating a career guide titled "What's Your Construction Management VQ" which can be purchased in the CMAA Bookstore. 

There are two reasons the authors chose the title What is your Construction Management  VQ  (Value  Quotient)? It  completes  a  trilogy,  complementing  two  other publications - "What is your Construction Management IQ?" and "What is your Construction Management EQ?"  Also, and most importantly, a  career  guide  implies  a  focus  on  an  early  career,  however,  this  document  is  intended  as a guide to benefit a professional construction manager at any career phase since value is timeless. 

College of Fellows Nomination and Selection

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Fellow of the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA).
 
The purpose of Phase 1 is to aid interested candidates and nominators in understanding the role and purpose of the College of Fellows and in preparing a nomination dossier that is responsive to the criteria. All candidates must complete Phase 1.
 
In this phase, candidates or nominators indicate interest in becoming a Fellow or nominating a member for Fellowship. Initial submissions are assigned to at least two Fellows who are responsible for identifying a mentor from among the current Fellows.
 
The role of the mentor is advisory only. Their role is not to make a judgement about a candidate's qualifications or readiness. Mentors are not responsible for the final selection of a candidate and any mentor who serves on the Fellows Nomination Committee is required to recuse themselves from the committee's deliberations on any candidate they mentored in Phase 1. Further, nominators and candidates are not obligated to accept a mentor's advice and may request a different mentor.

Submissions received for Phase 1 will be considered for the FY25 Selection Year.

Begin Phase 1  

Please review the instructions below to ensure that your submission receives full consideration by the Selection Committee. You can also review a sample submission below.
