Webday Wednesday - Return on Investment - Women and Leadership in Architecture

Return on Investment - Women and Leadership in Architecture
Date: March 11, 2020
Presenter: 

SESSION:

Studies have shown that women leaders improve the social, economic and environmental value of a company, but women are underrepresented in leadership roles in architecture companies. How does a profession that is traditionally inconducive to fostering women leaders change its ways? What efforts are required on the part of architecture firms and what is the return on that investment?

Building Equality in Architecture is partnering with the RAIC to deliver this Wednesday Webinar focused on women and leadership in the profession of architecture. BEA has sought the expertise of Ann Divine, CEO of Ashanti Leadership and Professional Development Services who will present the challenges which prevent women from holding leadership roles, the progress some companies and their leaders are making as they take steps to break down barriers, and the rewards of gender equity at the helm.
 

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the completion of this session, the participant/learner will be able to:

• Analyze the factors that may play a role in limiting diverse leadership within an architectural practice.
• Create new systems which break down the barriers that prevent women from advancing to leadership positions in equal numbers as their male counterparts.
• Identify allies or learn how to be an ally who helps to foster strong women leaders within an architecture practice.
