Emma Williamson wins 2023 Paula Whitman Leadership in Gender Equity Prize

The Fulcrum Agency is delighted to announce that our Co-Founder, Emma Williamson, has been awarded the 2023 Paula Whitman Leadership in Gender Equity Prize by the Australian Institute of Architects. This prize acknowledges Emma’s outstanding leadership and contribution to the advancement of gender equity in architectural practice, education, and governance.

As she reflects in the film above, Emma’s career has been a study in two parts: contribution to practice through the founding of CODA Studio and then The Fulcrum Agency, two respected, ethical, and award-winning practices; and through her efforts as inaugural Chair of the AIA National Committee for Gender Equity and her advocacy on issues related to balancing motherhood and work , and progressive business practices .

At The Fulcrum Agency, we are thrilled for Emma and know her to be a compassionate and encouraging practice leader. She is ambitious and expects us to be the same. Most of us have worked with her for a very long time, which we see as a reflection of the warm, challenging, dynamic culture that she has created. Work/life with Emma is always exciting!

Congratulations Emma!
