The LAI International Awards nominations are due by July 1, 2025 and we encourage all members to participate!

This year, LAI seeks nominations for the following awards:

🏆 International Member of the Year Award

This award is selected from Chapter nominations of Chapter Member of the Year honorees for the current or prior year by the International Awards Committee and will be based upon commitment to Lambda Alpha, to the nominee’s profession and to land economics with respect to achievement in the private or public sectors, research or education.

🏆 International Urban Affairs/Public Official Award

This award is presented either to a public official who, through his or her efforts — technical, managerial or other significant effort, has made a notable contribution to improving the quality of urban life or to a person who has made outstanding contributions to urban affairs and who has advanced the frontiers of knowledge via research and/or practice.

🏆 International Skyline Award

This award will recognize a project or policy identified by the host Land Economics Gathering Chapter and vetted by the International Awards Committee.  It is a discretionary award and will be presented only if the host chapter identifies a project, making their choice known to the International Awards Committee at least six weeks prior to the Land Economics Gathering.  The Skyline Award is normally made to a project or policy and is usually presented to an agency, firm or institution.

In past years, LAIGW has had great success in having our nominations chosen for these prestigious awards. We encourage you to consider individuals who might be deserving of these honors.

Don’t miss out on the chance to celebrate excellence!
