Join us for an exciting evening of mentorship! This event will provide networking opportunities for young professionals or interested people of all ages, and an opportunity to hear the various possibilities as we climb the career lattice.  Attendees will meet in small groups with professionals of varying experience levels in three 20-minute sessions.   Each session will be helmed by one of WIA’s mentors, many of whom are partners or principals at their firms. Participants are encouraged to offer advice, share experiences and discuss career goals.   

WIA thanks Bohlin Cywinski Jackson for hosting this event at their office!  And thanks to Converse Winkler Architecture for providing light snacks and refreshments at the event.
