I have worked with Emily for over a decade, sharing many projects, conversations and challenges through our partnership between AIA Wyoming and WBALA. More importantly, we shared progress and advancement in the profession of architecture in Wyoming and were often commended by other states. We collaborated on educational programming for the public using grants we applied for and received from WBALA, as well as provided high-level continuing education programming for architects. We convened our Board of Directors for a discussion on ensuring the health, safety and welfare of the general public. We met routinely to discuss how to educate the public on the importance and value of licensed professionals. Emily was responsible for multiple state licensing boards, but it was still important to her to participate in the meetings of AIA Wyoming. She made herself available to our members to address their questions and concerns, whether they were seasoned architects or emerging professionals just entering the workforce. Our members valued that relationship as they knew who to turn to with licensing and regulatory questions. Emily didn’t just lead, she inspired. She is praised for her leadership style marked by accountability, consistency and kindness. I close with appreciation for Emily’s dedication, laughter and making a difference. — Susan Menghini, Past Executive Director, AIA Wyoming Katie Wilson (WBALA President), Emily Cronbaugh, Allison Fleury (WBALA VP), Colleen Nelson (WBALA Board Member) and Veronica Meadows (CLARB) in Scottsdale, AZ, for the NCARB Annual Business Meeting after Emily received the 2025 NCARB Presidential Medal Emily Cronbaugh and Susan Menghini (Former AIA WY ED) in Casper, WY, after the AIA WY Fall Conference Tour and Membership Development Event Susan Menghini (Former AIA WY ED), Katie Wilson (WBALA President), and Emily Cronbaugh in Jackson, WY, for an AIA WY Fall Conference 20 WYOMING ARCHITECTURE .25
