Overview: AIA Women's Leadership Summit
Agenda
Speakers and Panelists
The first national gathering of women who serve as firm principals and in other professional leadership roles drew upon their talents and experiences to describe the issues women face and sought to raise their profile within the profession.
Past AIA president Kate Schwennsen, FAIA, provided the keynote address, and panel discussions and breakout sessions were tailored to the concerns affecting women in the profession today: equity, identifying leaders, leadership styles, visioning and strategic planning, next-generation leadership, design quality from the owner's point of view, design successes and challenges, and design excellence.
