Women's History Month

Highlighting our friends, partners, and awesome women and projects from our industry.

In anticipation of National Women’s History Month in March, and owing to the fact that Connect the Dots is a proudly Women-Owned business, we wanted to take the opportunity to showcase some of our favorite female activators, collaborators, and all around civic powerhouses. Throughout the month, we will be celebrating and sharing stories from some we know, and some we don’t (but wish we did!), so please stay tuned to meet these incredible women and learn about some female-led projects from around the US.


This page will be updated daily throughout March, and accessible through our LinkedIn posts. We invite you to follow along!


Do you have an inspiring story of a female-led project, or a badass place-maker, planner, engineer, designer, or civic leader in your life? Send us a link or a connection so we can “connect the dots” and minimize those degrees of separation: hello@connectthedotsinsights.com
