CallisonRTKL Introduces the Social Action Committee

Announcement | November 6, 2020

CallisonRTKL is proud to introduce the inaugural Social Action Committee (SAC) members. SAC is a firm-wide program centered on advancing social change through design. It serves as a steering committee to harness many of the firm’s grassroots efforts to promote ‘big-idea’ design initiatives for social justice at both the local and global levels. As emerging leaders, SAC members represent the firm and manage an allocated pool of corporate funds to fuel the design efforts. The committee will work across the offices to identify stewards of social action, in concert with office leadership globally, to promote and foster the ‘big-idea’  initiatives.

Selected from an impressive number of applicants from across the firm; the committee includes the following members:

Tyler Blazer, Associate, New York City, one-year term

Simone Brand, Designer, London, two-year term

Eddie Castaneda, Designer, Dallas, two-year term

Yarden Harari, Associate, Seattle, two-year term

Michaela Lyons, Senior Designer, Miami office, one-year term
