We are a Professional Society dedicated to supporting women in architecture and allied design fields

The Association for Women in Architecture + Design’s mission is to advance and support women by elevating their contribution to the profession and advocating for opportunity through education, programming and professional development. We also provide scholarships and a mid-career fellowship via our Foundation, sister organization, AWAF. We do this through an open inclusive environment that facilitates relationships and comradery for people at every stage of their career.
