Women in Architecture: Speed Mentoring Mixer

WIA’s Speed Mentorship Mixer connects two segments of AIA Dallas’ female membership base: experienced architects (mentors) with less experienced designers (protégées). The intent is to provide up and coming professionals and/or associate members with greater support and guidance from the professionally licensed community of female architects. Beverages and snacks will be served, and rounds of structured conversation and networking topics will be initiated. Mentors or protégées will meet in small groups to discuss topics such as career advice, work strategies, or site exposure through mentor’s projects. Questions can be asked in a comfortable and intimate environment. 

Happy Hour starts at 6:00p. Mentoring sessions start promptly at 6:30p.
A recap from the first Mentoring Mixer is here: https://www.aiadallas.org/v/blog-detail/WiA-Speed-Mentoring-Mixer/r4/
