The Small Firm Roundtable Network supports the special and unique needs of small architecture firms in the Central Oklahoma Chapter. The goal is to foster dialogue among peers while acting as a network to facilitate growth, understanding, knowledge, and professional relationships.
Our next program is on Tuesday, November 12th!
Vanessa Morrison
Vanessa is a planner and community development professional who is dedicated to empowering and supporting communities. After receiving her master’s degree in Regional City Planning from the University of Oklahoma’s Gibbs College of Architecture, Vanessa’s professional and academic opportunities have allowed her to design and lead approaches to address equity challenges, coordinate community engagement opportunities for marginalized groups, domestically and internationally consult urban planning related projects, collaborate on planning initiatives, and activate both spatial and social environments. She is also experienced in developing and implementing engagement strategies that reach into multi-faceted communities, including: African American communities, trauma exposed adults and families, business spaces, advocacy groups, state and local governments, and religious communities. Her robust education and experience in community engagement, planning, and crisis management give her unique and valuable insight to initiate and sustain change.
Small Firm is generally defined as 10 or fewer employees. If you have questions about the Small Firm Roundtable, feel free to reach out to Chair, Michael Hoffner, AIA at michael@hoffnerdesignstudio.com or Co-Chair, Sean O’Brien, AIA at sean@hsearchitects.com.
Small Firm Roundtable is open to AIA (Architect) members and Associate AIA (Intern Architects) members. (While our allied members are welcome to join the discussion, this program will be focused on the needs of architecture firms and may not be of interest to non architects).
