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.

This winter, we are launching a remote version of this beloved program, extending the reach of the relationships and connections formed throughout the cohort. TENACITY, TUMBLES & TRIUMPHS will be held December 19, January 9, and January 16, 6:00-8:00pm EST.

Participants will hear from speakers including Carole Wedge from Heaths Bridge, Yiselle Santos Rivera of YSR, LLC, and Jen Park of ParkFowler Plus.

The application deadline is Monday, December 16th. Program cost is $150.
