2026 PAC Award Winner
The AIA Virginia PAC is one of the sharpest tools in our advocacy toolkit. The AIA Virginia PAC Award celebrates the engagement and commitment of a local AIA component that supports the advancement and mission of the PAC. The winning component goes home with $1,000 cash for Architecture Week/Month and the award trophy will be presented at the annual meeting at ArchEx on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
And the winner for 2026 is … AIA Central Virginia. Congratulations!!!

Points were accrued in three areas: local component Board participation, the 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.
The PAC plan for 2026 is to raise $45,000
We have distributed $28,750 (64% of the plan). We will not be able to make further distributions without additional cash on hand, so that means $16,250 (36%) of the current plan is on hold, awaiting that cash/those investments.
