The 2023 Professional Leadership Award
Presented to
Chris Benedict and Henry Gifford

For decades, the team of Chris Benedict, architect, and Henry Gifford, mechanical designer, has created durable, efficient, beautiful buildings, particularly in the affordable housing space. They have been effective advocates for codes and standards. They are innovators and pioneers who continue to show us what is possible, inspiring others by leading by example.

They've generously shared their thinking, details, and systems approaches with us for many years, and they are fully deserving of this year's Professional Leadership Award.
