Hi folks,
I wanted to announce an event that we are hosting in February.
Legal Concerns for Queer Architects: A Conversation
Tuesday, February 18, 2025 – 5 to 6 PM Eastern Time
Cost: Cost: FREE - All AIA & AIAS Members; $5 - Students who are not AIAS Members; $20 - Not an AIA member
1.0 AIA LU | Elective (pending)
Via Zoom
Organized by the LGBTQIA+ Alliance
In light of the current legal uncertainties and the potential rollback of many hard-earned LGBTQIA+ rights, many of us are considering ways to best protect ourselves, our families, and our livelihoods.
Join us for an insightful conversation with Julie Snell from the LGBT Life Center. We will explore the history of LGBTQIA+ rights in the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia, discuss essential legal documents and directives that LGBTQIA+ architects should consider to safeguard their personal and professional rights, and examine state-specific rights, such as non-discrimination laws, that our community should be aware of.
More information and the sign up for the event can be found here: Legal Concerns for Queer Architects: A Conversation | AIA Northern Virginia
While the content of this session will be focused on legal concerns of Virginia and the Greater DC Metro Area, there are take aways that folks in other states and regions may find beneficial. Please share with anyone you know who may benefit from this presentation. Your participation will help us build on future events!
Thanks!
