Rick and Duffy Monahon were two extraordinary people who gave generously throughout their careers in the areas of architecture, preservation, and planning. They were passionate about history and finding new uses for old buildings and so it made sense that they would become intensely involved in planning and historic preservation
Jennifer Goodman and Phyllis Stibler were named as Honorary Members of the the AIANH Chapter. This award is bestowed on non-architects who have given distinguished service to the profession of architecture or to the arts and sciences related to architecture within the state.
