Committee Meetings

Hosted once each month.

Every first Tuesday of the month, AWBS hosts  its Project Committee meeting, providing a public platform for our team members to discuss ongoing projects and share updates on their progress. These gatherings occasionally feature distinguished guests from the architecture and non-profit sectors, shedding light on relevant topics or current projects. We welcome everyone who is interested in learning about AWBS's impact, and we especially encourage potential volunteers to attend, offering them the opportunity to discover more about our organization and how they can contribute.
