Presented by WiD and the Women Principals Group, the peer-nominated WiD Award of Excellence is presented in recognition of individuals who have built their life around design, whose work exemplifies the best of process and product, and who uses their position of achievement to give back to the world of design and to the community at large.

"Aisha and Elizabeth are both pillars of the New England design community and recognized nationally for their work. Their dedication to championing innovation in the built environment and lifting up those around them is unmatched," said Mary McCarthy AIA, co-chair of Women in Design. "We could not be prouder to have them represent the 25th annual WiD Award of Excellence and join the ranks of the talented, dedicated and collaborative women that have come before them."
