Gail A. Lindsey Award
During her career as an architect, Gail Lindsey approached each professional challenge with exuberance, resolve, and a commitment for success. Much of her effort was dedicated to positively changing the profession in relation to the development of sustainable built environments. Had her focus not been on the creation and maturation of the sustainability movement, her resolve would have dramatically affected the evolution of whatever endeavor she put her mind and efforts towards. Gail was a force in the architectural world of North Carolina, the country, and ultimately the world. Anyone who knew and worked with Gail was enriched and uplifted by her presence and engagement.
The Gail A. Lindsey Award is an honor bestowed to individuals or organizations in North Carolina that have worked in the architectural or an allied profession with the passion and commitment that is exemplary of Gail A. Lindsey. Advancing a cause; tirelessly working to improve the surrounding environment; performing work efforts with grace; and lifting the performance of all with whom one engages, are all qualities demonstrated by the award recipient(s). Like Gail, the annual award winner should be individuals or organizations that anyone would be proud to have worked with and/or called their colleague(s). Although the recipient(s) may have affected change in the area of environmental sustainability, the essential criteria is excellence in the chosen area of work related to architecture or an allied profession.
Eligibility
Individuals or organizations with a significant, positive, impact on North Carolina, or a region of North Carolina.
