Thank you to all who submitted projects the 2019 Design Awards! We had a great time celebrating the fantastic work our members have done (and will continue to do!) to impact the built environment. The high quality of work was praised by our jury for its contribution to the profession as a whole as well as its impact on the community it serves. We also want to extend our thanks to Footnote for providing us with a great venue and fantastic food!
Thank you again to our jury, assembled by head juror Ken Lambla, for their time and support to our chapter!

As Emerging Professionals Director, Thomas took charge coordinating our 2018 & 2019 Film Series. He created a partnership with a local theater, a/perature cinema, to provide us with a great venue. Through AIANC’s ACTIVATE program, Thomas was able to secure funding that allowed us to both show great films and include a panel of speakers at each event. He was even able to bring the filmmaker herself to our last event to share her thoughts!
