Bell is Executive of the Year
AIANY Executive Director Rick Bell, FAIA, was honored by the American Institute of Architects Council of Architectural Component Executives (CACE) with the 2011 Component Leadership Award at the CACE conference in Philadelphia. The award inscription read: “For his outstanding contributions to the profession of architecture as a member of CACE, Rick has demonstrated leadership abilities to build bridges, establish trust, and encourage collaboration through his tireless efforts to promote the AIA and the profession. He has served as a role model for all who have embarked on a Center for Architecture. He is a tireless promoter and articulate spokesperson for our causes, be it a local or national member-based initiative or the value of CACE. His many significant contributions and accomplishments have greatly benefited the profession, the Institute and his CACE colleagues.” The inscription was signed by Michael Waldinger, CACE President.
