Emerging Leaders

Launched in 2017, the BWAF Emerging Leaders program is a selective professional development opportunity for early- and mid-career women. Within a small group format, participants engage with significant senior women in architecture, design, engineering, construction, real estate, law, and financial services to advance their own career goals and connect with a cohort of ambitious colleagues across at similar professional levels. Participants share common experiences and trade personal strategies for advancing their field. Over 200 women have participated in past cohorts, building a timeless network of allies and support for each other.

In response to the coronavirus outbreak and federal guidance on gatherings, the 2020 and current 2021 Emerging Leaders programs are being hosted as virtual sessions with inspirational speakers, and limited to 20 participants. We are offering the program at a reduced total cost of $300 per participant.
