    Posted 07-13-2026 03:46 PM

    Hello all- I hope you can attend our upcoming Town Hall meeting on July 16 from 1–2 PM ET for an engaging session introducing PAKC's new name and mission. Get an early look at the upcoming PAKC Symposium in Washington, DC, on October 20, and hear directly from past award winners as they share practical tips for submitting a strong application for the AIA Excellence in Public Architecture Award.

    Thank you for organizing the presentations on the work of the Public Architecture committee, and special thanks to you, Kelly, and to David Powell, for demystifying the application for the Excellence in Public Architecture award.  Your approach, though quite different, shows how personal passion, persistence and a commitment to the highest standards of professional practice and human endeavor, can translate to a lasting architectural and social legacy.  You were both so very inspiring!  

    Was the presentation recorded, and could it be posted here and in other venues?  I sincerely believe that it would serve our community well to have as many architects see it as possible.  Thank you!
