This year’s Board will enjoy contributions from several new additions. Please join us as we get to know our newest board members:
ASCEND Mentoring Program
The Ascend Program connects emerging architecture professionals with between 1-5 years of professional office experience with mid-career architects who have 10-15 years of experience through mentorship as an intentional first step into the profession. These connections will support emerging professionals in the early stages of their careers, guiding through challenges, setting goals, and developing the skill set to succeed. Ascend groups are organized locally. Mentors and Mentees are invited to apply no later than January 15th.
