Mission

"The mission of the Women in Architecture Committee is to create an environment of camaraderie and fellowship for women professionals and students, and to provide an opportunity for dialogue about issues of interest to women within the design community."

History

Women in Architecture Committee or WIA (pronounced "wee-ah") was established in 2007 under the Fellowship Commission of the AIA San Diego Chapter.

WIA strives to:

  • Establish venues for community outreach and involvement
  • Promote the development of professional practice
  • Stimulate a network within our design community
