International Women's Day Breakfast

Women in Architecture (WIA), Women in Structural Engineering (WISE) and the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) are pleased to present a celebratory breakfast in honor of International Women's Day. International Women's Day means different things to different people, but the global focus on equality and celebration is clear. IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Join WIA, WISE and NAWIC on March 6th at 8:00am at the Center for Architecture and Design for breakfast and networking. We will be joined by Councilwoman Maria D. Quiñones Sánchez. Councilwoman Maria D. Quiñones Sánchez is a veteran activist with over 30 years of service to the City of Philadelphia, currently serving her fourth four-year term representing eastern North Philadelphia’s 7th Council District. She made history in November 2007 when she rallied grassroots support becoming the first Latina elected to City Council. We look forward to hearing about Maria’s position on affordable housing in Philadelphia and the role the AEC community can play in helping to address this inequity. Affordable housing is a vital step in achieving a more equitable society. 8am Networking and Breakfast 9am Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez AIAS - $0.00 AIA, DWISE, NAWIC Members - $5.00 Non Members - $10.00
