Society Awards

Foot Soldier Award

Archaeological Institute of America


Deadline: December 2, 2024

Dedicated members who provide years of service in multiple capacities at the Local Society level are the backbone of the AIA Societies. These hardworking members serve as officers and are involved in every aspect of their Society, donating an incredible amount of time and expertise to keep their Societies vibrant. This award recognizes these important contributions made at the local level; invaluable because without viable Local Societies, much of the AIA’s mission (such as our outreach to the public) would not be possible. This award is open to any AIA member of a Local Society who is nominated by their Society.

Nomination Process

Nominations in the form of a letter detailing the nominee’s qualification can be sent to Sarah Smith.
