Support this scholarship for emerging leaders to attend the AIA Women's Leadership Summit.

The AIA Women's Leadership Summit has had an incredible impact on my life and career - from attending the very first summit in Chicago to co-chairing the 2015 Seattle WLS- and with every summit I've attended since. The inspiration and comraderie I have found with each summit is priceless. And it all started with the vision and leadership of Sho-Ping.

Sho-Ping Chin, FAIA was a Principal at Payette and in 2009 the founding leader of the AIA Women’s Leadership Summit. In 2017, following Sho-Ping’s untimely passing, a group of colleagues, family members, and friends created a memorial fund in her name focused on supporting the development of future women leaders in architecture by helping defray costs of mid-career to senior women architects to attend the conference.

The Architects Foundation is raising money to support the Sho-Ping Chin Women’s Leadership Summit Grant Fund. $10,000 will help sponsor the next group of awardees. $125,000 will permanently endow the fund to award up to ten (10) grants to cover travel cost associated with attending the conference.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Architects Foundation. Donate today!
