Breakfast Social

Kava House & Cafe
122 2nd St SE, Swisher, IA

We are planning a breakfast social this month at Kava House,with discussion on a couple of topics:

Women on Construction Sites (has anyone looked at Architect Barbie’s outfit lately!? Would not recommend for a site visit, but at least she has closed toe shoes and a hardhat 😉). This could be a bit of a spicy meatball topic, but I’m hoping for open discussion on the experiences we’ve had visiting construction sites.  

Alternative Career Paths in Architecture (Architect Barbie’s look could excel here, depending on what she chooses haha!) I’d like to make this a bit of a two-fold talk with both discussion on what other careers architects / interior designers could cross over into easily, and why we may choose to do.
