The Public Awareness Committee is continuing to produce material that helps promote Wyoming architecture and bring awareness to the public. AIA Wyoming is always thinking of ways to reach out to the public and membership to keep everyone involved and educated, as well as strengthen our relationships with industry partners. The Wyoming Architecture publication is celebrating a decade with this year’s issue! We are very happy that this publication has become a major resource of information to provide exposure of the profession to the public. 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 ninth 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 66 for more information. Our Instagram account for AIA Wyoming has been up for over a year now and is full of great Wyoming projects. We have posted all images from previous calendar entries and will continue to post as we have photo entries. You can visit this account at www.instagram.com/aiawyoming. We are also sharing the images we post on Instagram 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 interested in architecture to like it as well. AIA Wyoming celebrated World Architecture Month in October by coinciding with the Annual AIA Wyoming Fall Conference. There were multiple tours and presentations open to the public and advertised on our social media accounts and in the local newspaper. See the fall conference summary on pages 28-29 for more information on these events. 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 2024 and the potential to expand our outreach.
