Public Awareness Committee The Importance of Awareness BY ANTHONY JACOBSEN, AIA Committee Members: Anthony Jacobsen, AIA, Chair Lyle Murtha, AIA Andrea Haro Ellen Martin, Associate AIA Tim Schenk, AIA The Public Awareness Committee has continued to bring awareness to the public and promote architecture throughout Wyoming to help educate regarding the great projects and the impact this profession has in the public realm. Our committee is dedicated to promoting architecture, and specifically Wyoming architecture, by reaching out to the public and membership in multiple ways to keep everyone involved and educated, as well as strengthening our relationships with industry partners. The Wyoming Architecture publication is a staple for AIA Wyoming and has been proven to help spread awareness of projects and the architects that help bring them to life. We are very grateful to everyone who provides information that goes into this publication and look forward to continuing this great tool that all Wyoming architects benefit from. We have built up a great distribution coverage with this publication with our list of industry partners, legislators, state departments, schools, contractors, realtors, clients, members and many other contacts throughout the state. This publication reaches and educates the public on our profession through the activities and programs of our chapter. The calendar project is in its 10th year and is still FREE. Please contact anyone on this Public Awareness Committee to take one or grab multiple to pass them out. The images in the calendar are of Wyoming projects throughout the state, designed by AIA Wyoming architects and designers from across the state. For more information on AIA Wyoming calendars, contact AIA Wyoming at info@aia-wyoming.org or by viewing our website at www.aia-wyoming.org. Please refer to page 54 of this publication for more information. Our Instagram account for AIA Wyoming is a great place to see all the projects from Wyoming and what is possible in this great state. We have posted all recent award winners and runner-ups and continue to post previous calendar entries. You can visit this account at www.instagram.com/aiawyoming. We are also sharing the images we post on the Instagram account to the Facebook page so you can catch these Wyoming projects on either platform. Please join us in liking AIA Wyoming’s Facebook and Instagram pages and inviting other professionals, colleagues or anyone who is interested in architecture to like it as well. The Public Awareness Committee continues to inform the public about the great community of architects Wyoming has to offer and how they impact all our lives. We are always open to new ideas and volunteers to help us promote awareness of the profession through AIA Wyoming. We are looking forward to 2025 and the potential to expand our outreach. 11
