PERSON OF THE YEAR: KAREN BRAITMAYER
Architect, businesswoman and policy-shaper Karen Braitmayer has excelled at making accessibility cool since before the ADA even existed. With an approach and understanding that is molded by a life using a wheelchair, Braitmayer’s commitment to elevating the discussion around architecture and access transcends professional boundaries: For her, it’s personal. Her impact goes far beyond her Seattle home, and earned her the American Institute of Architects 2019 Whitney M. Young Award for Social Responsibility. For these reasons and many more, we are honored to present Braitmayer as our 2019 Person of the Year.
