The Gold Award Panel considers a nominee’s merit based on the submitted citation only. The citation should not be an extended CV, a list of educational or vocational achievements, appointments, awards, posts or a job description showing what the person has done.
The citation should describe what is special about the Chartered Architectural Technologist’s achievements and illustrate memorably and persuasively how and where they have made a difference to the Institute.
Example excerpts from citations:
“As a founding member in the Institute’s early years, Hilda led the Regional Planning Committee to establish all Regional Councils and was responsible for compiling the Model Chapter Rules. At the time, Hilda was described as the ‘number one advocate’ in establishing a firm policy for CIAT through the formation of the Standing Orders (the first Constitution).”
"Additionally, Kenneth was the Institute’s Honorary Treasurer from 1978 until his retirement in 1990. During his terms as Honorary Treasurer, CIAT underwent a period of financial hardship and the dedication and time put in by Kenneth to rebuild financial viability, alongside delivering a committed service to the members was essential to the continuation of CIAT as the robust membership body it is today. Working with the Finance Committee and Department, Kenneth formulated the strategies and policies which have established the Institute’s healthy surplus and working capital enabling project developments into the future. This change from deficit to surplus during this tough time has to be admired.”
