Annum was honored to open our studio to attendees of the 2023 AIA Women’s Leadership Summit, taking place in Boston. The Summit “exists to support and empower women on their leadership journeys and break down the barriers that get in their way”.

Highlights included meeting industry professionals from around the country and hearing from Ann Beha on the challenges and triumphs of founding a design firm over 40 years ago.

We are proud to sponsor organizations such as the American Institute of Architects that celebrate women’s important contributions to the flourishing design industry.
