AIA Detroit

The Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program Scholars kick off their third session today, exploring “Business Development and Entrepreneurship.” This session explores the business side of architecture, introducing emerging professionals to business development, entrepreneurship, client relationships, and strategic growth. Through presentations, interactive activities, and industry feedback, participants will develop leadership skills and learn how to identify opportunities, position expertise, and build successful practices.

The session is led by scholars Angel Mangham of Studio Detroit and Chang Zong of SmithGroup 🙏

A big “Thank You!” to our Session 3 Sponsors, Studio Detroit, UDM SACD, Tarkett, Patcraft, Hörmann, The Belden Brick Company, Fishbeck, and Rytec, a Nucor company.

This program would not be possible without the support of our generous Program Sponsors, HOK + ROSSETTI, SmithGroup, Ghafari Associates, and McGrory Glass Systems.

We’d love your help. 💛
