On Thursday, May 15, AIANY Women in Architecture Committee (WIA) gathered for our much-anticipated Annual Roundtable Dinner, a highlight event as chosen by our members. Kicking off at the Center for Architecture with a packed house, we began the evening with community announcements and a preview of upcoming WIA events. After which, we made our way to nearby restaurants for an evening of thought-provoking conversation and meaningful connection.
Over shared meals and spirited discussions, groups of four explored a range of topics spanning WIA’s four core pillars: Design & Leadership, Professional Practice & Development, Workplace Culture, and Advocacy & Activism. Questions such as “How do we shift a culture of excessive overtime?”, “What makes a winning team?”, and “How do we negotiate on our own behalf?” sparked rich, candid exchanges among women across the AEC community. These intimate dinners served as a space to share personal stories, seek advice, and collectively imagine a more equitable and empowering future for women in architecture and the allied industries.
This annual event not only reaffirmed our commitment to advocacy and leadership within the profession it also strengthened our bonds as a community. Thank you to all who joined us in making this a truly memorable evening. We look forward to continuing these vital conversations—and to seeing you at future WIA events!
