AWARDS AND RECOGNITION COMMITTEE

Awards and Recognition Committee

The Awards and Recognition Committee was founded to promote design excellence among members of the AIA, the broader design community, and the public at large.

Join our Team!

The Committee is led by a volunteer group of architects, designers, allied members & community volunteers who lead the effort to plan and host AIA Orlando's annual Excellence in Design Awards Gala. We have a lot of fun, and we’d love for you to join us.

We meet the 4th Tuesday of each month from noon-1pm, via Zoom. As we get closer to the Gala (November 13th, 2021) we’ll meet more frequently, about every other week for an hour in October and early November.
