Hall of Fame Inductees

INTERIOR PLANTSCAPE HALL OF FAME
Since 1996 the interiorscape industry's most distinguished leaders have been recognized for their contributions to their industry by induction into the Interior Plantscape Hall of Fame as governed by PIA. The Interior Plantscape Hall of Fame was established to honor individuals of integrity whose personal dedication provided great leadership in the development and growth of the interiorscape industry either as an interiorscaping professional or as an allied trade professional.

The posthumous recipient may be either an allied trade or interiorscaper who greatly impacted our industry. In this way we can continue to remember those who are no longer with us and recall the history of our industry as well as recognize the current efforts of those around us.

The Hall of Fame presentation is made during the Annual PIA Awards Dinner, which is held in conjunction with CalScape Expo. During the presentation, inductees are honored in an audiovisual presentation. At the end of the presentation, a plaque is presented to the Hall of Fame inductee. The inductee also receives honorary individual lifetime membership in PIA. Thereafter, these inductees will be actively involved in selecting the following year's inductees and for coordinating future Hall of Fame presentations.
