As part of the 2017 AIA Young Architects recipients, Clayborne truly serves a seat after being named as the 2016 president of AIA Richmond chapter, as one of AIA Blue Ridge board of directors and as its Young Architects Forum founder.

Hermann's transformation of AIA Iowa chapter is also remarkable. She turned it into a strong committee and formed Iowa Women in Architecture.
