To commemorate the 100th year of AWA+D an oak tree was planted at Washington University in St. Louis

AWA+D’s first in-person event since March 2020 was a tour of the Hilda L. Solis Care First Village in downtown Los Angeles. We hope that this is the first of a series of project tours focusing on alternative housing solutions. The AWA+D Programs team is working on it, so stay tuned.

Did you know? 70% of all jobs are filled through networking. 85% of management and leadership positions are filled through networking. 70-100% of architect projects come from networking and referrals.

Networking is more than just coffee chats and LinkedIn connections--“When it’s done well, networking will not only help you get a job faster, but it will give you a competitive edge through the rest of your career,” said Natalie Barron and Lori Tabb of Women Leading Powerfully.

So, why do we network?
