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 WednesdayÌýWebinarÌýfocused on women and leadership in the profession of architecture. BEA has sought the expertise of Anna Sampson and Zahra Williams,Ìýwho 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.

• 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.
• Evaluate the value that women leaders can bring to both an architectural practice and its business success created by having women leaders within an architectural practice.
