    Do you want to learn how to plan for successful
    design and construction of your project?

    In our third session of the Learn from a Leader series, our WLI hosts have brought together 3 Women Industry Leaders to offer an informative moderated discussion, which will explore how to successfully transition a project from design through construction via the lens of the Baylor, Scott, and White headquarters project located in Deep Ellum.

    Topics to be discussed: What are the general steps that your architect will need to take? How does the general contractor work in tandem with the architect and owner? What are the roles and responsibilities of each key stake holder?
