History
The Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) Board of Directors established the College of Fellows as a distinguished institution to recognize CMAA members who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in the program and the project/construction management (PM/CM) profession. This recognition highlights their pivotal contributions to the industry's growth and development and their unwavering support for CMAA's mission and initiatives.

The College of Fellows began with its first inductees, Jerve Jones and Richard Schultz, who were inducted into this esteemed circle in 1987. In subsequent years, notable industry leaders such as Richard Maes in 1988 and Thomas Driscoll in 1989 joined their ranks. These trailblazers set the foundation for a legacy of excellence and commitment, which has grown to encompass 98 active Fellows today.

Each Fellow embodies the highest standards of professionalism and achievement, contributing their expertise and insights to advance the PM/CM profession and mentor future leaders. Through their dedication, the College not only honors individual excellence but also shapes the strategic direction of the construction management industry.
