Thank you to Vivian Lee, AIA WIA Committee Co-Chair, Beyer, Blinder & Belle, the host, and all of the women in the committee for allowing us a few moments to introduce our seminar series at their monthly committee meeting. The agenda for the meeting was densely packed with upcoming events highlighting the achievements of women practitioners and opportunities to mentor. It was inspiring to be in attendance.
