WOMEN IN ARCHITECTURE COMMITTEE

AIA|LA Women in Architecture Committee’s mission is to promote Gender Equity in the profession.  Founded in 2016, WiA Committee developed from a strong desire to empower and promote positive change for women in the field of architecture, heavily fueled by the influential POWERFUL: Women Leading Design conference series.

The committee meets monthly for a series of lectures, networking opportunities, and workshops.  WiA leads the organization of the annual POWERFUL conference.

WiA will maintain a focus of embracing diversity through inclusion, encouraging professional growth through networking and interactions, promoting leadership and offering career guidance, endorsing community outreach, and providing support to women in their career development in architecture.


EVENTS
Powerful XI
Our first Powerful XL Conference planning session!

Come join us – This year, we’re going EXTRA LARGE and all are welcome!

Powerful XL is only 5 months away, and we couldn’t be more excited! The theme for this year’s conference grows out of the focus from past years. This year, we turn our collective “Me” into “We”.
Speed Mentoring
We gathered an impressive group of women from across the AEC community, all well-established leaders in their fields, and they’re looking forward to sharing decades of knowledge and wisdom with you.

Come with questions – leave with new insights and new friends!
