New Year, New Me in 2023: A Two-Part Self-Advocacy Workshop To Help You Shine – Part 1

Women in Architecture is excited to kick off 2023 with our first event for year, How to Self-Promote, a 2-Part Series that will focus on the importance of professional self-growth. We want to take this opportunity to help our members revamp their professional bios and headshots as both are key assets in self-advocacy.
