Pub. 9 2022 Directory

The Wyoming Board of Architects was established on Feb. 17, 1951. In 1991, legislation added the regulation of the practice of landscape architecture, increased the membership of the Board to five, and changed the Board’s name to the Wyoming State Board of Architects and Landscape Architects. The Board is comprised of three architects, one landscape architect, and one member of the public.

As AIA Wyoming’s Associate Director, I was fortunate to attend this year’s AIA Conference on Architecture 2022 (A’22) in Chicago. I was one of a handful of individuals from Wyoming in a crowd of over 9,000 architects who attended the Conference. A’22 was an exceptional event designed to encourage architects to explore new ways of thinking and influence design-forward thinking. The city of Chicago was presented through multiple tours and lectures and was an amazing backdrop for the Conference and all the speakers.

Each year the AIA brings leadership together for the AIA Grassroots conference sessions to develop our leadership to the fullest potential. Grassroots curriculum and participants change and evolve annually, while the goal of supporting component and community leadership remains. Participation is vital to the AIA, AIA Grassroots, and a priority for AIA Wyoming. Please contact the AIA Wyoming Board and leadership to learn how to attend and become more active in our AIA Chapter and attend AIA Grassroots in the coming years.

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 mission of the Membership Development Committee is to enhance the membership experience. By embracing the mission, the committee holds activities for members, non-members, and industry partners at the two Chapter conferences, as well as throughout the year, to engage in conversation and networking. With a small group of volunteers, we continue to hold these events and look for additional committee members to enhance and grow the member experience.

The Education and Resource Committee’s primary goal is to promote architecture to the public and provide educational resources for architects to use when engaging with students and clients across the state.

Congrats, we have made it through another year! AIA Wyoming members have been amazing this year in planning and maintaining connections with each other across the state. AIA Wyoming held the spring conference in Cheyenne at the State Capitol Building and a fall conference in Sheridan at the Community College. The two conferences held this year in person have been a testament to what our Wyoming community is capable of!

The Strategic Plan for 2021-2025 is to advance the twin goals of climate action for human and ecological health and the advancement of racial, ethnic and gender equity in the built environment … Human and ecological health and racial, ethnic and gender equity will guide AIA’s decisions well into the future.
