Specific events may vary year to year. Below is a description of the typical yearly programs. Front Porch Front Porch This is one of our newest public outreach ventures, and one of our best attended, attracting hundreds of people each year. In an effort to foster closer working relationships with our region s creative community, we invite artists, advertising professionals, techies, bankers, art patrons, politicians, local government leads, gallery owners, art students, interior designers and craftsmen to a single, unstructured event where they may mingle and make connections that will help advance a collective creative voice for the Richmond area. This is yet another opportunity for Allied members to meet individuals who work in the many fields that are related to the practice of architecture and design. Architecture Week This is a unified, statewide, AIA public outreach effort undertaken simultaneously by all five Virginia AIA chapters. Events are geared toward making the public aware of the role of architects, and the importance of architecture in today s world. Programs include building tours, lectures by prominent architects, and exhibits. Allied Members will have the opportunity to expose their products to an audience beyond the architecture field. Additionally, publicity for this event offers all members an excellent opportunity to reach a target audience of the consumers of the many services offered by our members.

Chapter Events & Programs (cont.) Annual Design Awards Annual Design Awards Year in and year out, this is one of our most popular programs. Each year, AIA Richmond recognizes exemplary projects, their architects, consultants and their clients for outstanding recent work, as well as those architects who have provided a lifetime of outstanding service to their profession and the community. Allied Members will have an opportunity to socialize with many of the chapter s most widely-known practitioners, and learn what makes a great building in the eyes of the awards jurors. In addition to participation in this prestigious event, opportunities for sponsorship are available. Fall Lecture Series This year we will host our first annual Fall Lecture Series - a series of four lectures in September and October by prominent architects, artists, engineers and associated creatives with a focus on design. This will be a very high profile, well advertised series of public events that will offer sponsors high visibility. Golf Tournament / Paddleboard the James The AIA Richmond Golf Tournament is a yearly event which offers the rare opportunity to spend a relaxing afternoon playing golf, followed by cocktails for the members and guests. Participants in this event have included contractors, developers, building owners, engineers and others in the design and construction community. And, if golfing isn t your thing, we have a tandem event sharing the day - paddleboarding on the James River. Paddleboarders and golfers meet for cocktails at the end of the day at the clubhouse.

They host and highlight sustainable projects within the Richmond region as a bi-annual on-site tour titled: Sustainable Richmond Tours. The focus of the tour is to have a critical discourse about particular strategies and provide opportunity to hear from not only the building owners but also installers, inspectors or any other entities that were involved in helping make the strategy/ies work. Richmond Women in Design (RWiD) Richmond Women in Design began in January 2010 to create a forum for women architects and professionals from allied fields to come together for education, mentorship, camaraderie, community outreach, programs and research.
