Across the country, professionals in historically unorganized industries are joining together and realizing the power they have to create change when they act collectively. One of these groups is architectural professionals. This is why Raising Standards in the Architectural Industry is a useful tool for architects to learn about how to make a positive impact on the industry.

In this virtual event, attendees will learn about the issues impacting architectural professionals and how they are uniting to address problems in the industry. The event will include the following:

• The release of the results of DPE’s survey of architectural professionals
• Testimonies from professionals who recently formed a union in their workplace
• Q&A from union organizers with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers working on the Architectural Workers United campaign

The event is meant to provide attendees with a better understanding of professionals in unions, the state of the architecture industry, and how architecture professionals can empower themselves to raise standards in their workplaces.
