The Work We Share: Volunteerism & Beyond
Inspiring firms and professionals to take concrete action toward supporting pathways into architecture, engineering, and construction fields.
WHAT: In partnership with AFO and AIA, join us for a work session focused on building and supporting pathways to the profession.
- Join us at 5pm for beverages, snacks, and a chance to connect.
- Chris Brida, Director of Career + Technical Education at Portland Public Schools, will lead a fast-moving interactive experience to discover why industry participation in CTE is essential to developing a more skilled, curious, and diverse talent pathway.
- Emerging professional Evon Calabrese, Healthcare Designer at NBBJ, will share the key moments that influenced her pathway to the AEC industry.
- Peer firm leaders will lead break-out sessions on three different topics: Policy, Culture, Action!
WHEN: Wednesday, September 9, 5:00-7:30pm
WHERE: Mahlum Architects, 1380 SE 9th Ave, Portland
WHY: Right now, the demand for support (volunteering, funding, mentoring) from the AEC industry is not being met. We believe that every firm can develop a civic-minded professional culture to strengthen our designs, our firms, and our communities.
WHO: This session is for AEC firm leaders, changemakers, current and prospective volunteers, and anyone passionate about increasing student access to design and building fields.
GOAL: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction professionals and firm leaders will be inspired to support pathways to the profession. You will walk away with tools and resources to define or strengthen your approach, from policy to culture to structured programs.
