Holloway Named to National Board of American Institute of Architects

January 2003 - William E. Holloway has been elected to the board of directors of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), representing some 70,000 licensed architects and allied professionals.

A principal of Bernardon Haber Holloway Architects PC located in Kennett Square, PA and Wilmington, DE, Holloway is one of two directors elected from the Middle Atlantic Region to serve a three-year term with this prestigious national association, which has represented the professional interests of licensed architects and allied professionals since 1857. Currently there are 48 members who serve on AIA's national board.

As director, Holloway will represent some 2,800 members from Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia. He will work to advance the value of professionalism in architecture, foster ethical standards and shape legislative and regulatory decisions affecting the profession in general and the region in particular.

"AIA is a vital watchdog for the profession and provides a collective voice for legislative activism, two interests that have long been a passion of mine," said Holloway. "This new leadership role enables me to help promote the high ethical standards of our profession as well as keep ahead of current trends that will affect our clients."

Service to both his profession and the community are priorities for Holloway. He has served as secretary of AIA's Middle Atlantic Regional Council for three years, government affairs director of the Delaware Chapter of the AIA and on the jury for the Institute's Honor Awards for Regional and Urban Design. Locally he is former vice chairman of the Board of Supervisors in Pennsbury Township, PA and serves on the Governor's Task Force for Livable Delaware, Infill and Redevelopment Subcommittee.
