Learn how they balanced work and life; family and creative pursuits; and personal and professional challenges. Find out how they navigated their careers to positions of leadership, and if upon getting there–they feel they’ve crashed through the glass ceiling.
Meet these women leaders, friends, and colleagues at a 5:00 reception–watch the short film recognizing the 100 women who worked for Frank Lloyd Wright–then join the audience for a moderated discussion and conversation on leadership in the design and construction industry at three of Virginia’s finest institutions of higher education.
