The AIBC Volunteer Recognition Program recognizes the outstanding efforts and contributions of AIBC volunteers, who are critical to advancing the public interest mandate of the Institute. A ceremony is held each year to acknowledge the efforts of all AIBC volunteers, as well as recognize those who have received “AIBC Volunteer Recognitions”.
There are three categories of Volunteer Recognitions: Emerging Volunteer Recognition, Recognition of Exceptional Volunteer Service (previously CEO Award for Exceptional Volunteer Service), and Recognition for Lifetime Volunteer Achievement (previously AIBC Award for Lifetime Volunteer Achievement). All of the recipients are nominated by the AIBC’s staff, and recognize individuals who have made exceptional contributions towards fulfilling the mandate of the AIBC and contributing to the organization’s success.
Volunteer Recognitions
Recognition for Lifetime Volunteer Achievement
This Volunteer Recognition recognizes volunteers who have donated a lifetime of service to the AIBC and have contributed greatly to the organization’s success. Recipients of this award truly go above and beyond in the execution of their volunteer responsibilities with their level of initiative, leadership, enthusiasm, and dedication.
Recognition of Exceptional Volunteer Service
The Recognition of Exceptional Volunteer Service recognizes AIBC volunteers who donate their time and expertise to a variety of organizational activities, and who have made exceptional contributions to the work and progress of AIBC volunteer group initiatives and activities.
Emerging Volunteer Recognition
Created in 2023, this Recognition acknowledges exceptional volunteers who have been registered with the AIBC for less than five years – although newly registered, the recipients of this award have already made sustained and significant contributions to furthering the mandate of the AIBC through volunteering.
Archive | Professional Service Awards
For many years, the AIBC recognized architects and individuals who made outstanding impacts on the profession of architecture through the Professional Service Awards: the Lifetime Achievement Award; Special Recognition Award; and the Barbara Dalrymple Memorial Award for Community Service. In June 2023, the Professional Service Awards were transferred to the Architecture Foundation of BC.
