We all know the importance a building has in shaping one’s health and outlook on life. This spring we’ll go beyond thermal comfort and views to the outside by sharing how giving back through either volunteering or by serving clients with a community focused mission is critical. Join us to learn more about how engagement in the community can change lives and instigate change.
Keynote Speakers
John Gavan is the CEO of KPFF Consulting Engineers. Driven by the heightened social unrest in the country, he wanted to find an impactful and tangible way to effect meaningful change in the AEC industry. In 2021, John had the idea to introduce the framework of a leadership development program that he started within KPFF’s organization to the Southern California Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (SoCal NOMA). The first annual program was open to SoCal NOMA members at various stages in their careers, and consisted of interactive training sessions facilitated by top industry professionals and leaders.
