ElevateHER is a movement and a commitment to Zweig Group’s mission to Elevate the Industry. ElevateHER is about the future of the AEC industry and Zweig Group’s commitment to embrace, promote, and ensuring equal opportunities for everyone in the AEC industry regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. Each cohort is a special task force comprised of individuals with a commitment to promote diversity as a means to combat recruiting and retention challenges in the AEC industry. The group will operate as a think tank, developing strategies to help solve the challenge.
My vision for ElevateHER is not one of divisiveness or ‘women first.’ It is a practical acknowledgment of the 100% of women who have considered exiting the AE industry, confronting this challenge, and doing everything that we can to fix this system. We need women in our firms to speak up when they feel alienated. We need others who are advocates for women to be thoughtful in how they speak and to correct actions that undermine the career opportunities available for women.”
Zweig Group is here to serve as an advisor and hub of information and resources to leading this movement – a movement that brings us together to promote, advance, and elevate the industry.
