15 By Anthony Jacobsen, AIA Public Awareness Committee Current and Future Outreach Committee Members: Anthony Jacobsen, AIA, Chair Andrea Haro, Associate AIA Ellen Martin, Associate AIA Lyle Murtha, AIA Tim Schenk, AIA The Public Awareness Committee has had a good year promoting Wyoming Architecture. The last couple of years have been difficult for all in various ways. As things start to get back to some sense of normal, we look forward to 2023 and the potential to increase the exposure of Wyoming Architecture. AIA Wyoming is always thinking of ways to reach out to the public and membership to keep everyone involved and educated, and to strengthen our relationships with industry partners. The Wyoming Architecture publication is in its ninth year and recently won another award. Wyoming Architecture.21 won an Award of Distinction from the 2022 Communicator Awards! The Public Awareness Committee is proud to receive this distinction and is glad this publication has become a major resource of information to provide exposure of our profession to the public. This Publication has great distribution coverage to our 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 eighth year and is still FREE and available to anyone who would like to take one or distribute some, just contact anyone on this Public Awareness Committee. 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 the back cover of this publication for more information. We are excited to announce we have started an Instagram account for AIA Wyoming! It has been up since May and is currently full of Wyoming project posts from previous calendar entries. You can visit this new 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 interested in architecture to like it. AIA Wyoming has switched to celebrating Architecture Month across the state in This Publication has great distribution coverage to our industry partners, legislators, state departments, schools, contractors, realtors, clients, members, and many other contacts throughout the state. October. You might ask, “Wasn’t Architecture Month in April?” and you would be right. However, National AIA shifted its annual celebration to the entire month of October to align with “World Architecture Day,” celebrated on the first Monday in October. World Architecture Day was established in 2005 to “remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat” by the Union International des Architects (UIA). This intentionally aligns with “World Habitat Day,” established in 1986, to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. 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 2023 and the potential to expand our outreach. b
