13 T he Public Awareness Committee’s mission is to provide and increase the exposure of Wyoming Architecture and the value of the profession. This has been difficult to provide during the last couple of years, as bringing people together for events has not been the easiest. But even with these hurdles, the Public Awareness Committee continues the staples of communication that do not require face-to-face interaction, the calendar and publication. We could not hold events for National Architecture Week due to the lingering effects of COVID-19, but we hope next year will provide more opportunities. We will work toward having more in-person events next year as the environment allows. AIA Wyoming is a resilient group and is always thinking of ways to reach out to the public and our membership to keep everyone involved and educated. The Wyoming Architecture publication is in its eighth year and has become a major resource of information that AIA Wyoming uses to provide exposure of our profession to the public. We have built up excellent distribution coverage with this publication; however, we are constantly Committee Members Anthony Jacobsen, AIA, Chair Andrea Haro, Assoc. AIA Ellen Martin, Assoc. AIA Lyle Murtha, AIA Tim Schenk, AIA BY ANTHONY JACOBSEN, AIA evaluating how to expand our distribution 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 seventh year and is still FREE and available to anyone who would like to take one or distribute them. Just contact anyone on this Public Awareness Committee. The images in the calendar are of Wyoming projects throughout the state, designed by AIAWyoming architects and designers from across the state. For more information on AIAWyoming calendars, contact AIAWyoming at info@aia-wyoming.org or view our website at aia-wyoming.org. Please refer to the back cover of this publication for more information. The Public Awareness Committee updates AIA Wyoming’s Facebook page with current activities around the state, and our goal is to provide posts and information on all happenings from AIA Wyoming. We will also start an Instagram account that we can use to post additional individual projects with more information and exposure for architecture around Wyoming. Keep an eye out for that, as a link will be included on AIA Wyoming’s website and the Facebook page. Please join us in liking the current AIA Wyoming Facebook page and inviting other professionals, colleagues, or anyone interested in architecture to like it as well. We are always open to new ideas and volunteers to help us promote awareness of the profession through AIA Wyoming. The Public Awareness Committee is continually looking for ways to create connections with the public and provide awareness about the great community of architects Wyoming has and how they impact our lives. We are looking forward to making 2022 a great year. b Keep an eye out for our new AIA Wyoming Instagram account, as a link will be included on AIA Wyoming's Website and the Facebook page.
