The Power of Incremental Change
It is easy to forget the power that each of us holds. It is, after all, this power united with the consistency of everyday small steps and like-minded individuals that create meaningful change in our communities.
Join us for a dynamic presentation from Naomi Hersson-Ringskog founder of Dept of Small Interventions (DoSI) , along with her collaborators Jieun Yang founder of Habitat Workshop, and Brandt Knapp co-founder of Knapp:Hafred, as they present ‘Reimagine Lake Street Corridor’ a project located in Newburgh, NY.
The presentation will highlight how grassroots efforts can make a difference in the community, explain the value of being civically engaged, and how these projects can help foster a professional network for future work and/or collaboration.

Orientation to The Common Ground Mentorship Program
Learn more about the volunteer mentorship program, Common Ground, created to support the local AEC community and allied industries by providing a forum to learn, give back, and share knowledge. The goal is to do this through the use of our collective creativity to help our local communities.
We have designed this volunteer mentorship program with a framework to guide each group of Mentors and Mentees. The framework will enable participants to tailor their communication, interaction, and achievements based on the pair’s determined goals. A key component of this is a flexible schedule allowing those with limited time the ability to participate. Mentees will have the opportunity to lead the agreed-upon creative collaboration as well as seek advice and listen to guidance from their Mentor. Mentors will listen, advise, provide constructive feedback, and participate in the agreed-upon creative collaboration.
Speed Networking
Wrap up the evening by connecting with other like-minded professionals in our Virtual Speed Networking event. Participants will be placed in breakout rooms to causally get to know one another.
