Women's Leadership Summit
The first AIA Women’s Leadership Summit (WLS) began as a grassroots effort to bring together women principals of architecture firms, women in leadership positions, and women architects moving into leadership roles across the country for an intense two-day summit focusing on leadership and design. Today, the summit spans a diverse spread of career stages and seeks to support all women in the profession.
Summit goals:
- raise the profile of women in the profession
- share and promote the design work of women
- explore new paths to leadership
- provide education opportunities related to women in the profession
- learn from one another
