McGraw Bagnoli Architects is pleased to announce that the inaugural AIA | DC Chapter Emerging Architect Award has been given to Project Architect Ryan McEnroe, AIA, ASLA. The award recognizes individuals of all ages who have shown exceptional leadership and made significant contributions to the profession in an early stage of their architectural career.

Growing up on a farm is all about pitching in. Since grade school Ryan has been involved in community service projects. Now a licensed architect and landscape architect, he continues to focus on service to the community. He has served on 7 visiting National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) teams at sites across the country as well as on NCARB’s Internship committee, helping to improve the Internship experience and the Architectural Registration Exam. Most recently he cofounded the Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program in 2013—a program that helps other young professionals take leading roles in the profession and the community.
