Despite advances toward gender equality, construction administration and the construction environment remain male dominated. Join us for a conversation between female-identifying professionals within landscape architecture and the construction industry who share their experiences collaborating on a notable case study, the National World War I Memorial.

Learning Outcomes:

Learn about the construction administration process from three women that were instrumental in its construction.
Foster relationships between diverse collaborators and appreciate how to work collaboratively across disciplines.
Promote the value of gender diversity within all phases of design, especially during the construction administration process.
Gain perspective in changing gender dynamics in design.
