The Founding of Build With Pride Seattle

 A group of passionate professionals from the Seattle-area AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) LGBTQIA+ community and allies came together to create a space for celebration, connection, and advocacy. United by a shared vision of fostering inclusivity and awareness in their field, the founding members of Build With Pride Seattle embarked on a mission to amplify their voices and pave the way for a more diverse and welcoming AEC landscape. Contact us if you'd like to participate in the planning!​

Our mission is to create a supportive network for LGBTQIA+ professionals and their allies in fields related to construction, architecture, and engineering to build community, celebrate allyship, and provide career enhancement opportunities.​
