The AIA National Associates Committee (NAC) is proud to announce the establishment of a scholarship fund to remember their friend and colleague, Jason Pettigrew, Assoc. AIA.

Jason dedicated much of his time with the AIA towards the development and growth of others and a commitment to community service. He touched the lives of everyone around him through his selfless service which included not only leadership roles locally, and with AIA Colorado, but through his national service as well. His significant contributions include assisting in the formation of the NAC through service on the first NAC Executive Committee, serving multiple years as Representative to the IDP Coordinating Committee, and most recently through his contributions towards the development of the Emerging Professional's Companion released in 2004.

As noted by Ana Guerra, Assoc. AIA, current Associate director on the AIA Executive Committee and past NAC chair: “Jason Pettigrew was committed to the future of the profession and kept all of our heads turned in the right direction–toward progress. He was an architecture intern’s strongest advocate on many fronts and created conversations for all of the profession to work as one.”
