Kicking off tomorrow afternoon! 📆 Join our new Late-Career Professionals for their first meetup — Created for architects and design professionals with decades of experience, perspective, and plenty still to share. ✨🌟 Led by Jody Lahendro and Gwyn Gilliam.

📅 Wednesday, May 27 | 1:00 PM 📍 Studio IX / Shenandoah Joe — 969 2nd St SE, Charlottesville ☕ No fixed agenda — Just good coffee and better conversation! 🗓️ Meeting every other month | 90-minute gatherings
💌 Invite your colleagues! All are welcome.

Late career can look different for everyone: still practicing, transitioning, fully retired, or somewhere in between. But there’s one thing that tends to be true across the board: the professional conversations you value most happen a lot less often than they used to. This group is here to change that.

Together, we’ll build a community to: ✨ Connect with peers and support one another ✨ Have honest conversations about what matters most right now ✨ Share wisdom, experience, and ideas that benefit both ourselves and the broader community

If you’ve got hard-won perspective and a lot still to offer, this group is for you. Thank you to those who have responded, we look forward to seeing you!
