The AIANY Women in Architecture Committee hosted a networking event at Riverside Park on September 7, where representatives from architecture and engineering firms that have in-house groups championing Women’s Leadership Initiatives were present. They continued the conversation on how to promote women to leadership in the profession from the Inaugural Women’s Initiative Groups Forum in May, earlier this year. It was a casual, fun, engaging conversation that opened up a lot more discussions and initiatives to be carried forward.
Thank you to Rebecca McCarthy from Dattner Architects for leading a discussion on “Marching Further” and Sara Ngan from FX Collaborative for leading a discussion on “Gender and Diversity Equity in Panels.”

The Women in Architecture (WIA) Committee is dedicated to cultivating and advancing women leaders within the architecture profession. Its initiatives center on mentorship, licensure, and networking opportunities in architecture and the allied design and building industries. WIA’s mission is to foster the promotion and elevation of women to leadership roles, guided by four key pillars: Design & Leadership, Professional Practice & Development, Workplace Culture, and Advocacy & Activism.
