Tools to Help Your Firm Value the Difference

“Value: The Difference – A Toolkit for Firms” is the new online diversity and inclusion resource center. This web page contains information specifically designed to assist firms in a variety of topic areas. Subjects addressed include: the business case, return on investment, marketplace diversity, pipeline development and workplace diversity & inclusion. The goal is for firms to use the multitude of resources as a springboard for incorporating diversity and inclusion into the practice of architecture.

SAVE THE DATE: Women's Leadership Development Summit, Sept. 23-24
Scheduled for September 23-24 in New York City, the Women’s Leadership Development Summit will focus on helping women practitioners identify their personal and collective leadership to aid in developing skills to realize their potential. Topics to be presented and discussed will include: skill development, diversity in leadership, alternative career paths, transitioning to positions of leadership, and creating your mentorship networks. Mark your calendars today! Registration information to come.

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.
