For the second time in five years, AIA Central Virginia won AIA Virginia’s annual PAC Award. As the winner, the local component will receive $1,000 from AIA Virginia for use during its 2023 Architecture Week to enhance its public outreach efforts. AIA Central Virginia and AIA Northern Virginia were the only chapters to have 100% investment participation from their Board of Directors. This 100% Board participation determined the winner. AIA Central Virginia had 6.4% of its total membership invest in the PAC, and the average contribution per member out of the total component membership of 204 individuals was $5.47.
The AIA Virginia PAC Award looks to celebrate the engagement and commitment of a local AIA component that supports the advancement and mission of the PAC. The award criteria are based on a point total calculation based on three areas: local component Board participation, percentage of local component’s membership who have invested in the PAC, and the total amount of money invested by the members of the local component.

Like many professions, architects have interests that specifically impact our profession, practice, and our community. The legislative and regulatory environment is arguably the most important arena that impacts how we provide our professional services. We, as architects, want to have an influential voice in this arena which allows us to control our destiny. We can’t have an influential voice without having relationships. As such, the PAC allows us to build these necessary relationships.
