Celebrating The Women Of mcCallumSather
Joanne McCallum, co-founder, and Michelle Austin were colleagues when the concept of mcCallumSather began to form well over 27 years ago. While architecture, engineering and construction remain male dominated industries, at the time they set out to build this team that gap was even more pronounced.
Today, we reflect on the ecosystem they’ve shaped within mcCallumSather. The team includes a network of women at all levels of the organization and an environment where women have access to mentorship, guidance, and the support of their peers.
The women on this team are leaders in sustainable design; continue breaking barriers as women in the architecture and engineering field; and mentors/leaders within their communities.
This year’s theme is #EmbracingEquity. Therefore, we start by recognizing each woman who is an essential part of this team:
