Awards & Recognition
Recognizing the People Who Move Our Profession Forward
Each year, IRWA celebrates the individuals, organizations and Chapters who make a meaningful impact on the right of way profession. From exceptional leadership and service to innovation and professional achievements, our awards recognize those who are shaping the future of the industry.
The awards are presented during IRWA’s Annual International Education Conference, where right of way professionals from around the world connect every year to discuss the latest trends in real estate infrastructure.
