COMMUNITY IMPACT

Tara sits on the board of directors for the Consulting Architects of Alberta. She is also on the Education Committee, with a commitment to help create more resources for firm owners and Architects to be able to elevate the profession collaboratively.

We are passionate about finding a way to use our skills as professionals to make an impact on systematic issues related to the vulnerably housed populations. Tara is a part of a group of like minded industry professionals who are community advocates and “systems designers”. The group is passionate about finding out how we can mend the divide and barriers for the vulnerably housed created by NIMBY fears. We are looking at what kind of social and built conditions might create an atmosphere that encourages compassion, tolerance and community spirit between otherwise tense and combative adjacencies.

CREW (Women in Commercial Real Estate) has powerful committees for advocating for the success of women in male dominated industries. Tara has joined the Future Leaders Committee in CREW to fuel her passion to support and elevate potential careers in Architecture and adjacent fields for the next generations of young women in Highschool and University.
