Projects of Excellence 2024

Please join us for a formal night out to celebrate the amazing projects we do here in the PNW! This event will showcase projects our membership and clients are doing to for the various communities we serve. In addition to showcasing projects, we will be handing out awards for the best project submissions for 5 distinct categories which are: Collaboration | Innovation | Complexity | Environmental Stewardship | People's Choice.

People's Choice Award is a new category! Project posters will be available for viewing and judging by all event attendees! Judging will be open during the social hour leading up to dinner. Votes will be counted during dinner and the award will be issued alongside the other categories later on in the event.
