THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING
FORWARD FOCUSED 2026!

Thank you so much for supporting this year's Forward Focused event! Because of your generosity, we raised over $80,000 this year alone (and over $475,000 since our inception). These donations allow us to continue providing opportunities for, and access to, STEM education and careers for all.  

We hope you enjoyed the inspirational conversation surrounding the role of women in the AEC industry and how to support them. As our panelists emphasized, it’s our job as advocates to create a leadership pipeline, and through scholarship opportunity and community engagement, the Primera Foundation aims to do just that. On behalf of everyone at the Primera Foundation, thank you! Your kindness will truly help make a real difference in our local communities.

Check out the wonderful photos from this year's event, captured by Mike Martin Photography. Digital copies are free, just click the download button in the top right corner to access your favorites.

Mark your calendars...
Forward Focused will return on June 23, 2027!
