WHY?
With an increasing need for professional leadership and staffing in our design and construction industry it is important for organizations to be able to attract, support, and retain people of all genders. With the increase of women entering the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, we need to be able to understand the value that women bring, and identify and address the specific needs of women in our industry, including those A/E’s who are on the facility Owner side.
HOW?
This half-day Mini-Forum will provide a venue to openly discuss the issues affecting our industry and ideas to address those issues.
The program includes time for presentations and a panel discussion by accomplished women in our industry, and facilitated table and open discussions to form solutions with your peers.
WHAT?
You will come away with ideas you can implement within your organization to build processes and a supportive culture for women.
A visual note-taker will produce a comprehensive graphic in-the-moment, and a separate scribe will be utilized to compile the discussion ideas for distribution to the participants after the event.
- Presenters and Panelists: architect, engineer, contractor, sub/trade, facility Owner
- Table Facilitators: one for each table, with tables divided into industry segments: architects, engineers, contractors, subs/trades, Owners
