Elizabeth Siedel has done an exemplary job as president of the Montana Chapter of the AIAS. Under her leadership, the chapter has become one of the most active in the nation by holding various events that promote networking, professional development, and a positive studio culture. Siedel has focused on teamwork and collaboration among the board members. As a result, the chapter's membership and fundraising totals have grown. The vice president believes Siedel is deserving of the AIAS Chapter President Honor Award due to her motivation, energy, and involvement in advancing the organization and profession.

15 April 2016 To Whom It May Concern: As the AIAS Montana Chapter Vice President I would like be the voice of the Montana Board in the nomination and full support for Elizabeth Siedel for the Chapter President Honor Award. As we all know, Ms. Siedel was elected West Quadrant Director for the upcoming 2016-2017 year. By the elections the majority of her support has already been showcased; however, her true desires and talents as a leader is really exemplified in her role here in the Montana Chapter serving as our President. Ms. Siedel has focused on a variety of aspects involving AIAS and our school. Creating and sustaining a positive and supportive teamwork environment on the board has us working together stronger than ever. This past year we have moved towards an “Ego to Eco” environment where the importance of each board member is common knowledge and the tasks don’t simply lie within the title given. As a board we are collaborating and executing a variety of events. We are one of the most active chapters in the nation, and I truly believe this energy radiates from Elizabeth Siedel. The events we hold promote networking throughout the school, throughout the Bozeman community, and throughout the nation. Ms. Siedel has done an exemplary job at promoting professional development through firm visits, presentations, workshops, and an overall greater involvement with the advisory council and staff. Ms. Siedel’s energy within the organization without a doubt has spread to the profession. Our annual Celebration of Architecture dinner and auction raised a record breaking amount that is entirely contributed to students through scholarships, conferences, etc. The architecture community is excited about what we as AIAS members are doing within our school, and the eagerness to be involved and contribute is greater than ever before. The excitement, however, is not simply being generated throughout the professionals, the excitement is growing within our school. Our general membership is higher than last year’s membership. This, I believe, comes from Ms. Siedels advocacy for a positive studio culture. This year Ms. Siedel has implemented #gratitude into the studio environment: advocating for the idea that “we are all in this together”, and rewarding those who not only are involved in AIAS serving as the student’s voice, but also at a personal level within the school. Elizabeth Siedel is a motivated, energetic, and involved member and here at Montana State University we believe she is the best candidate for the AIAS Chapter President Honor Award.
