Georgia Landscape Architect Emerging Professionals are invited to apply and participate as ‘non members’.
The participants employer must sponsor all costs associated with the program.

The Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program (CKLDP) is a national initiative that has been cultivating the next generation of architectural leaders since its inception in Washington, DC, in 2013. With a presence in over 10 chapters across the United States, CKLDP offers the chance to craft a curriculum responsive to the needs of present and future leaders. Each year, this competitive program accepts 16 emerging professionals to collaborate, learn together and develop as leaders in architecture honing skills in entrepreneurship, firm management, collaboration, negotiation, client development, industry trends, equity, community engagement, and civic leadership.
AIA Georgia’s program is proud to be entering its 7th year of empowering emerging professionals across the state and region. Members who are eager to advance in their career and either have not yet become a licensed architect, or have been licensed for 10 years or less are encouraged to apply.
