2021 Forums Series: Design for Empowerment

Join IIDA Northern California East Bay City Center for a discussion on how empowerment doesn’t come from within an individual but in the ways we act toward each other. Learn how empowerment is being used as an aide to protect, support, & uplift underrepresented voices in our community.

Series Forums is an annual conversation series that takes place throughout the Northern California Chapter, focused around a central topic which impacts our design community at large.
