*Please note, this committee alternates between hybrid and virtual meetings. This month’s meeting will be hybrid with the in-person location at TBD. For those attending in-person, it will be a potluck event. If you would like to bring something please sign up. After 7PM, there will be time to socialize and get a tour of the office.*

The AIA Northern Virginia Women in Architecture (WIA) Committee is dedicated to elevating awareness of the meaningful contributions women architects have made—and continue to make—to the built environment, both historically and in contemporary practice.

WIA actively supports outreach and mentorship initiatives that guide and encourage women to pursue careers in architecture and allied fields. Through partnerships with schools, professional organizations, and community groups, the committee seeks to broaden access to resources, role models, and clear career pathways. The committee also prioritizes visibility and advocacy, recognizing that women serving at all levels of practice and leadership is an essential component for creating lasting, systemic change.

Please email committee leadership to receive the Zoom link to participate virtually and with any questions.

The January, April, and August meetings will be a hybrid format beginning at 6:00PM at a local firm and will include an option for Zoom.
