This Fall BWAF will bring together the Industry Leaders Roundtable, a select group of representatives of large firms invited by the Foundation. Participation represents a strong commitment to advancing women and demonstrates a firm’s leadership role in inspiring positive change. The first gathering of the Roundtable takes place October 6-7 at the Pocantico Conference Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund at the Historic Rockefeller Estate that includes Kykuit (see photo). The Rockefeller Brothers Fund offers this site for conferences that promote social change. Attendees include representatives from AECOM, HOK, Perkins+Will, Weidlinger Engineers, and S/L/A/M Collaborative, among others. Speakers will include authors and gender equity experts, Carol Frohlinger, JD, and Anne Weisberg.

Redeveloping our DNA…
As we develop the online collection...
BWAF’s organic database, the Dynamic National Archive, houses an online collection of notable women who have contributed to America’s built environment in the 20th century. Envisioned as a two-tiered repository of information, the first will be a historical "locked" selection from the over 1,050 profiles in the collection to ensure historical accuracy, and the second will remain an open-source section which can be added to and changed by the public. Anyone can contribute their knowledge to the public section by simply logging in. Your participation will help build women’s legacies.

The Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn, NY, was designed in 1957 by former Taliesin fellow Read Weber (1908-1990). Made a Fellow of the AIA in 1981, Weber was nevertheless listed in their records as a man until recent research funded by BWAF discovered her true identity.
