Dear Friends of the AIANY Women in Architecture Committee,

We have a special roundtable planned at our last 2019 Monthly Committee Meeting on the 20th of November.

After our regular announcements of the AIANY WIA upcoming committee events, related events around town, related topics, and good reads, please join us for a conversation on Motherhood and the Career Path, as a follow-up from our June 20 roundtable on Rejoining the Workforce After Taking Parental Leave.

Betty Rexrode, of Rexrode Chirigos Architects, will moderate a group of panelists who will share their experiences, challenges, and rewards of motherhood and how it affects their career paths. This open discussion will address questions in planning to start a family, in making it all work, and in moving forward.

Here are some reference articles related to the discussion topic:

AIANY WIA Committee Co-Chairs

The committees of AIA New York are the foundations from which the Chapter positions itself in the field of architecture, whether through discussion, advocacy, policy making and development, event and exhibition planning, or other endeavors.

Committees meet monthly, usually at the Center for Architecture. AIA members, AIA associate members, and general public are all welcome to participate.

If you have questions or are considering attending a meeting for the first time, contact each committee’s co-chairs for more information at aiany.org/committees.
