2026 Summer Social: Built to Rally!

We celebrated the power of community and shared pride in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry with 250 of our closest new friends! This annual event brought our industry together to celebrate and amplify LGBTQIA+ and allied voices, and this year, 110+ companies and organizations joined the party!

The funds generated by this event enabled the award of our next Built with Pride scholarship recipient! A partnership between Build With Pride Seattle, GSBA, and ANEW, the Built With Pride Scholarship supports LGBTQIA+ individuals in Washington State pursuing careers in the trades.

​By removing financial and systemic barriers, this initiative is helping to build a more inclusive, empowered workforce — from the ground up. Thank you to everyone who came out to make this year's celebration our biggest yet!
