Foot Soldier Award

The Foot Soldier Award recognizes dedicated members who provide years of service in multiple capacities at the Local Society level of the Archaeological Institute of America. 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 important contributions made at the local level, which are invaluable because without viable Local Societies, much of the AIA's mission, such as outreach to the public, would not be possible. The award is open to any AIA member of a Local Society who is nominated by their Society. Nominations are submitted in the form of a letter detailing the nominee's qualifications.
