AIA, director of HKS’s equity, diversity, and inclusion program to share how they implemented AIA’s Guides to Equitable Practice to improve firm culture, raise employee satisfaction, and bring their successes and creative energy to the clients and communities they design for.
What a full year of programming for AIA Winston-Salem! None of it would be possible without our generous sponsors. From volunteering your time to providing financial support, you’ve helped make so much of what we’ve accomplished this year possible!We still have a few more events to go this Fall, but we wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for continuing to invest in our architectural community. We couldn’t do it without you!
