From the Blog
“I like the scholarly content that was presented. It was great to have thought provoking conversations about our field and to meet so many engaging people.”
“It is extremely difficult for architects to get all this information and education in one class, and I was astounded by the topics and the amazing support that the class has.”
“Not only was I at a point, where I was looking for ‘What is next’ in my career, I had also just recently moved to DC. Participating in CKLDP has not only reaffirmed my trajectory into a leadership position, but also provided my with a great network of peers.”
