Fourth Street, Ste. 175 Las Vegas, NV 89101 Dear AIA Jury, I am both pleased and honored to support the nomination of SHarchitecture for the Nevada Chapter of the American Institute of Architects Firm Award. SHarchitecture has over 30 years of commitment to the Las Vegas Community, the State of Nevada and the AIA. They have evidenced their commitment through multiple generations of firm leadership being engaged in multiple levels at the AIA. SHarchitecture is more than a collection of architects and designers. They are a collective of citizens and community activists who can be found giving back to community organizations on the weekend as often as they can be found working long nights on project deadlines. They are committed to a better built environment through their architecture and a better community through their individual efforts. Truly this is the meaning of the firm award. I believe SHarchitecture exemplifies the finest attributes of the AIA, and for these reasons deserves to be recognized with the 2016 AIA Nevada Firm Award.
