That’s right. We have a new Star in our chapter, recognized in Spokane during EDSymposium19. Emily Meyer, CDFA, of Bernardo|Wills Architects, PC received our chapter’s 2019 Star Award!
A graduate of Whitworth University with a B.A. in Sociology, Emily loves research and input. She is socially-focused and accommodating, putting the needs of the team above her own. She and her husband Wade are newlyweds, and are navigating the waters of marriage, home-ownership, and (cat) parenting with aplomb. Emily is a complete extrovert who loves building relationships.
We had to tell National SDA why Emily deserved the Star Award. Here’s what we submitted:
Emily represents the best of her generation. She is brilliant, hard-working, willing, savvy, kind, inclusive, and a champion for justice. In her short time in the industry she has already stepped out and:
- Joined SDA
- Attended an EDSymposium (EDS18 in SLC) on a Chapter scholarship
- Lead a virtual roundtable for the Chapter that attracted attendees from SDA Chapters nation-wide
- Served on the Chapter Nominating Committee
- Facilitated SDA Seattle’s Better Business Book Club
- Served on the Host Chapter Committee for EDSymposium19
- Sat for her CDFA exam
All this while learning the particular ins and outs of the AEC industry, supporting a busy and growing office, buying a house, becoming a cat-mom, and being an all-around inspiring person.
If Emily represents the future of our industry and our association, the future is very bright indeed!
Congratulations, Emily!
