Lifetime Achievement


AIA Lifetime Achievement Award
The AIA Lifetime Industry Achievement award honors individuals whose outstanding performance, integrity, dignity, and conscientious approach to business affairs are demonstrated as a matter of routine. Not intended to honor principals of high visibility or popularity, the Lifetime Industry Achievement award has been referenced as a means by which the "worker bees" or "people in the trenches" are credited and properly recognized. There is no limit to the number of individuals who can be honored annually as AIA Lifetime Industry Achievement Award recipients, nor is it required that a recipient be named.
