Breaking Barriers Gala 2025 – “Paving the way for young women in ACE”

Join us on August 14th 2025 for the Breaking Barriers Gala, a pivotal evening dedicated to empowering the next generation of women in Architecture, Construction, and Engineering (ACE) through DemoChicks. This gala isn’t just an event; it’s an investment in the future. By attending, you’ll directly support hands-on STEM workshops and mentorship programs that ignite the passion and develop the skills of young women, particularly women of color, who are underrepresented in these vital industries. Be part of a transformative night filled with inspiring stories, networking opportunities with industry leaders, and a shared commitment to breaking down barriers and building a more diverse and equitable future in ACE. Your presence will make a tangible difference, helping to pave the way for these talented young women to achieve their full potential and shape the world around us.
