In line with its mission to inspire and challenge the status quo, lead growth through design thinking, and foster innovation and collective knowledge, IA’s Spark Committee awards three fellowships each year within the firm. IAers with a passion for an innovative idea, new ways of working, emerging technology, or visionary agenda are invited to submit a proposal for the committee’s consideration. If selected, recipients receive a fellowship grant that provides the time and funding to explore their passion in depth—whether domestically or abroad. Each grant culminates in a firmwide presentation, where the fellow shares the insights and knowledge gained, underscoring IA’s ongoing commitment to innovation and creativity.
