Steering Committee Nominee - Susan Aitken

My name is Susan Aitken and I would like to serve on the OWA Steering Committee.

I am a licensed architect in California, a graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and a Partner in Hamilton + Aitken Architects in San Francisco. I’ve been an OWA member since 1984 (or sometime during that decade). Looking back on my career to date, I owe a lot to sister OWA members whose advice and programs provided me with lots of inspiration and skill development in my early career (such as how to pass the 12 hour design exam). Somehow I missed a few meetings (1992-2009 but I faithfully read the newsletters) Last year I reconnected with OWA at the Westerbeke Retreat, and realized what a great organization it continues to be.

I would like the opportunity to bring my experiences and interests to the collective, to be involved in programs that encourage the younger members as they move through their careers, as well as planning events that spark the professional collaborations that support us all.
