Dattner Architect’s Managing Principal Kirsten Sibilia, Principal Ruth Ro, and Business Development Manager Jessica Soares presented at the AIA Women’s Leadership Summit in Chicago from October 8-10!
They led a presentation and panel discussion titled “How Dattner Architects Transitioned to a Certified Women-Owned Business”, along with our legal counsel Patricia Harris of Zetlin & De Chiara LLP.
The session provided an in-depth look at our firm’s journey to WBE certification and the steps we’ve taken to foster an equitable, inclusive workplace. It also sparked thoughtful discussions on the importance of building the pipeline for women to rise to leadership roles.
We were excited to share our experiences and inspire other firms to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion as core values.
