For many, the mid-career role in design practices often feels like being caught between immense responsibility and little agency to effect change. On June 29th, the Washington, D.C. chapter of the AIA hosted a panel discussion on perspectives and influence for mid-career practitioners as part of its DAC Leadership Series.
SOM Partner Laura Ettelman, Directors Yasemin Kologlu and Carrie Moore, and Associates Lindsay Allen, Julia Grabazs, and Maria Palencia participated in the event, sharing insight on advocacy for one’s self and others, consensus building, forging individual paths, making an impact, and more.
