Daoust is a seasoned philanthropy and development leader with more than a decade at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and a strong record helping cultural organizations and universities secure significant philanthropic support; she will help advance the Foundation’s focus on capital renewal, programming, and endowment growth. Prosky, President of the Richard Hampton Jenrette Foundation, has dedicated his career to advancing architecture and design through leadership roles at AIANY, Harvard GSD, Columbia GSAPP, and major international design institutions, bringing preservation expertise and deep networks to the Foundation.

Rawlinson, Vice President of Belonging, Culture & Employee Experience at Sherwin-Williams, is a nationally recognized inclusion and culture strategist with experience shaping global talent and community impact initiatives for one of AIA’s longest-standing corporate partners; in her role, she provides leadership for the Foundation’s scholarship and equity efforts. Daoust, Prosky, and Rawlinson join an existing team of eleven dedicated architecture and design professionals serving on the Foundation’s Board of Directors.

Their expertise comes at a dynamic time as the Foundation expands its national scholarship and international fellowship programs, scales Communities by Design, and renews The Octagon, its national historic landmark home, as part of AIA’s new Global Campus for Architecture & Design.
