Creating a Safe Space to Develop Future Diverse Leaders

As our industry looks for ways to change its landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion, we also need to expand the capacity of individuals to perform leadership roles within organizations.

While efforts to recruit from and build AEC awareness within our underrepresented communities are of critical importance, we cannot lose sight of the diverse and talented people working alongside us every day. Action is required to make sure they are supported, sponsored, and included in an authentic, meaningful way. In the words of 2021 Participant, Matthew Trotter “Leaders aren’t born. They are taught, they’re made, they’re created, they’re cultured.”
