Demystifying Chess - Join Us Wednesday! |
|
Have you always wanted to learn chess? Were you both captivated and mystified by The Queen’s Gambit? Chess involves problem-solving, logic, strategic thinking, and creativity – all qualities that women in architecture have in droves. Come learn how to exercise your brain and have fun at the same time by playing this celebrated game.
Bring your lunch and join Women in Architecture as we host Rebecca Rutledge, avid chess player and Director of the Youth Chess League of Central Oklahoma, Inc., who will orient you to the basics of the game, recommend ways you can learn more and improve your game, and give you the confidence to try it yourself. For those who already know how to play, feel free to join the program to offer insights and ask more advanced questions.

AIA Central Oklahoma February Virtual Luncheon |

Wardell Ross Jr., AIA, NOMA, NCARB
SENIOR ASSOCIATE
DIRECTOR OF HOUSTON OPERATIONS
Moody Nolan, Inc.
|
|
Wardell has gained extensive experiences in the healthcare, educational (Collegiate & K-12), civic, and hospitality markets over his 23 + year career in Architecture & Community engagement working in Ohio and Texas. Through those experiences as a registered architect, he has developed a sensitive approach in identifying client needs early in the project delivery timeline, from the most well-established institutional clients to the clients of undeserved communities.
Wardell’s work is grounded in service, efficient project management, professional integrity, and appropriate design. This approach was developed from the integration of his military service, extensive community outreach, and ministry experience. Architecture is his profession, but more so a tool connecting him to his passion of supporting under resourced organizations, communities, and individuals committed to the development of vulnerable or marginalized populations, as a result of his foundational faith in God.

Mr. Deering currently serves as the First Vice President / President Elect for AIA Chicago where he has served on the Board of Directors since 2017.
