Patterhn Ives founding partner Anna Ives recently joined regional leaders for Women Who Lead, a leadership forum presented by BlueSky Media and hosted by Tarlton Corporation.
Moderated by Sondra Rotty, President & COO of Tarlton Corporation, the panel brought together leaders from architecture, engineering, construction, commercial real estate, and development to discuss leadership journeys, mentorship, resilience, and the importance of creating opportunities for others across the profession. The conversation featured Jen Nevil of Lamar Johnson Collaborative, Anna Leavey of Anna Leavey, LLC, Angie Earlywine of Cushman & Wakefield, and Anna Ives of Patterhn Ives.
For Patterhn Ives, the event reflected values that extend well beyond project work. The firm believes thoughtful leadership includes sharing knowledge, investing in emerging professionals, and strengthening the design community through meaningful dialogue.
Anna was joined at the event by marketing consultant Michele Chapman and emerging professional Kaitlyn Dooley, a reminder that leadership is strengthened through mentorship, collaboration, and a commitment to helping others grow. This spirit of learning and connection continues to shape how Patterhn Ives serves clients, communities, and our profession.
