WELCOME TO the People In Preservation Awards, SOHO's annual celebration of the accomplished individuals, groups, and businesses that have demonstrated excellence and commitment in preserving our region's rich and diverse architecture, cultural landscapes, and heritage.

Thank you for joining us for this virtual event to salute these distinguished winners. This is the third year SOHO has hosted the People In Preservation awards virtually, and we remain inspired by the winners’ resourcefulness and perseverance in these challenging times. Their meaningful achievements add lasting new layers of protection and preservation to the history, culture, and landmarks of San Diego.

May is National Preservation Month, which is why we celebrate our historic preservation heroes at this time every year. As the strongest, most effective historic preservation advocate in San Diego County, SOHO maintains impeccably high standards in the projects we recognize, and the PIP awards are the region's most respected preservation honors.

We look forward to this event each May, and anticipate gathering for PIP celebrations in person again in the future. Now in our 39th year of presenting the awards, it is invigorating to see all that has been accomplished in nearly four decades by more than 400 winners. SOHO extends hearty congratulations to all of our 2022 winners. You are joining a sterling circle of successful preservationists that shows no sign of closure.

Guests, please enjoy the following awards presentations by SOHO and hear from the winners themselves as you click on each one’s page. And, as always, thank you for supporting SOHO's essential mission of preservation, advocacy, and education throughout San Diego County.

Special thanks to the PIP production and writing team: Sandé Lollis, audio visual production manager; Alana Coons, education and communications director; and Ann Jarmusch, writer.
