For the third consecutive year, TowerPinkster was recognized for our efforts to support emerging professionals in architecture.

The AIA Indiana Emerging Professionals Exemplary Firm award recognizes firms that go above and beyond in supporting individuals on their path to architectural licensure. This designation honors organizations that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to mentoring and guiding emerging professionals. It also aims to foster dialogue among firms across the state to encourage the development of policies and practices that promote innovation, professional growth, and progressive workplaces for future members of the design profession.

An early professional is an architectural staff member who has worked in the profession for 10 years or less and falls into one of the following categories: recent graduate or unlicensed emerging professional.

As a firm dedicated to cultivating growth and professional development, we are honored to receive this recognition once again and remain committed to empowering the next generation of architects.

At TowerPinkster, support of the licensure process includes:

• Hands-on experience in project planning, project management, programming, and project development phases for all staff, including interns
• Reviewing NCARB’s AXP core competencies
• Support for continuing education opportunities
• A structured mentorship program
• Coverage of costs for establishing and maintaining an NCARB record
• Coverage of ARE study materials, exam fees, and time to take exams
• Coverage of state licensure and reciprocity fees for multiple states
• Coverage of AIA membership dues, both locally and nationally
• Encouragement for interns and design professionals to participate in community service activities
• And more!

We’re proud to continue building a culture where mentorship, learning, and professional growth thrive.
