Speed Mentoring Happy Hour – WEDNESDAY
Remember the women you spoke to at the Women In Architecture Speed Mentoring event last year? Or you missed the event but are looking to start the New Year with new contacts through network building. Please join us as we mix business with wine!
The AIANY WIA Speed Mentoring follow-up happy hour is an informal event allowing women to reach out to those they would like to connect with and develop relationships. It can be for business, personal or professional growth and development.

“Dirt”+Wine
Join your fellow WIA Committee Members for a movie screening of “Women in the Dirt”. This unique evening will include good wine, delicious snacks, and great conversation!
Women in the Dirt is about the groundbreaking work of seven landscape architects. Their projects combine awareness of architectural and landscape principles, concern with sustainability, safety and beauty. The scope of their work ranges from private homes to vast public projects. Through conversations with the landscape architects in their offices, or in the stunning spaces they’ve designed, the film explores each woman’s personal aesthetics and approach to their discipline. Women in the Dirt shows how these “masters of the obvious” create the sublime. For more information about the documentary please click here – http://womeninthedirt.com/

Everyone is encouraged to offer advice, share experiences and discuss career goals. A reception including food and drinks will be held at the beginning of the event.
NYC °Cool Roofs volunteer event was a success!
A big THANK YOU! to the volunteers who spent a beautiful Saturday morning at Beth Gospel Assembly in Harlem to paint nearly 30,000s.f. of roof in reflective paint. NYC °CoolRoofs, an initiative of NYC Service and Department of Buildings, sent team leaders Anna Peach, Matthew Butler, Kevin Collins and Tori Edmistom to the site to teach the volunteers the technique of ”cutting in” as we tackled the parapets before the flat roof. We appreciate the hard working volunteers who got their hands dirty: Vishakha Apte, Sandra Benjamin, Tamyika Chester, Linnea Cook, Lucia Eastman, Lourd Galvez, Samantha Giorgio, Rebecca Jones, Nikoletta Stagias, Jen Stencel, Meri Tepper, Alex Villagomez , Cassie Walker and Jessica Yu.
A reflective roof releases heat quickly, which combats the urban heat island effect and reduces a building’s interior temperature up to 30%. With a cooler internal temperature, air conditioning usage is lower and energy consumption, carbon emissions, and electricity bills are reduced. Additionally, a reflective surface prolongs the lifespan of both the roof and the cooling equipment by decreasing the thermal shock stress caused by extreme temperature changes.
