Last week, AIA24 (AIA's annual conference on architecture and design) was in Washington, DC. This gave KGD the perfect opportunity to have participation and representation from our studio colleagues and summer interns to the firm principals. KGD Associate and Designer Nia Furr best sums up the collective of everyone's experience in saying, "As a newly licensed individual, AIA24 was an opportunity for me to reconnect with past classmates, clients, and colleagues. Everything, from the seminars to the expo and even the networking, offered various opportunities to experience something new."

This weekend, KGD celebrated International Women's Day with a brunch on Saturday organized by KGD Associate Principal Alex Shifflett, AIA, CCCA Shifflett. Several of our DMV-based colleagues attended this fun opportunity to spend time together outside of the office, getting to know each other more personally than as teammates on the various projects we have underway. KGD Principal & Co-President Christopher Gordon sums it up best, “The women of KGD – near and far – are integral to the foundation upon which KGD was founded, and moreover, where our firm is going in the future. This brunch celebrates and honors their hard work and dedication that is very much appreciated. KGD’s diverse workforce led by our talented women is the cornerstone of our firm’s continued success. Thank you, all the women of KGD!” https://lnkd.in/eywk8eaD #KGD2024 #KGDInternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay #KGDCommunity
