Description

ACEC Georgia has partnered with Jeff Gross, Chief Empowerment Officer with Gro-Nova to bring a webinar on Built to Serve: Building Community – Internally and Externally for A&E Firms. 

Creating a culture of service is not just good for morale—it's a strategic advantage, especially for Architecture & Engineering (A&E) firms that thrive on relationships, reputation, and long-term impact. Building Community – Internally and Externally is a powerful presentation designed to help organizations strengthen both their internal culture and external presence by embracing service as a core value.

This session explores how fostering a spirit of service within your teams translates into stronger community ties, improved employee engagement, and a positive brand image that attracts both talent and clients. For A&E firms, where collaboration, trust, and civic impact are essential, building community is not an option—it’s a necessity.

In this workshop participants will explore:

1. Why Serving Your Community Matters
   Understand how community engagement builds social capital and strengthens the organization's public image and local relevance—critical for firms involved in shaping physical spaces and infrastructure.
2. The Benefits of a Service-Driven Culture
   Discover how internal service to employees fosters loyalty, productivity, and innovation, while external service creates partnerships and public trust—essential for A&E project success and stakeholder buy-in.
3. How to Build and Sustain a Culture of Service
   Learn practical strategies for launching internal initiatives and external service projects that align with your firm’s mission, values, and business objectives.

Whether you're designing buildings, planning cities, or engineering solutions, this workshop will help A&E professionals see community not as a separate entity—but as an integral part of their everyday work.
