Georgia Built

Golf and great company. That's a pretty great way to spend a Monday!

While our 12th Annual Member Guest Golf Tournament at Athens Country Club may have set a record for the hottest tournament yet, it was another fantastic day filled with familiar faces and some healthy competition.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, brought a guest, and helped make the day such a success. We also couldn't do it without our amazing sponsors, Airo Mechanical, CA South, LLC Contract Lumber CWC | MillerKnoll Certified Dealer Cox & Company Green Standards JMP Kelston Promotional Lighting Associates, Inc. ATL Noco Contracting, REAL Advisory, USA Cabling. Your support helps create opportunities for our members to build relationships that continue long after the final putt drops.

Thanks to Athens Country Club for hosting us and to everyone who spent the day with us. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again next year!

Mahjong at the Races was anything about a typical Tuesday night in Atlanta!

Hosted at the evening blended mah-jongg, Kentucky Derby, flair, great food, and plenty of laughter. The Women of GA BUILT fully leaned into the derby spirit with their attire while beginners and experienced players alike enjoyed learning the newest trend in games with guidance from the team at Live Well Live More. Thank you to our sponsors and for making this event possible.

Last night was a true reflection of this community; showing up, trying something new, and building meaningful connections. Based on the energy in the room, this may be one event we bring back year after year!

Thank you to everyone who joined us. Be on the lookout for the Derby squares winner after May 2, but follow along and share your photos via the album in the comments.

Whisks, w**e, and wonderful company!

The Women of Georgia BUILT rolled up their sleeves for an unforgettable night at our Whisks & W**e event. With more than 25 women from across the AEC industry in attendance, this hands-on culinary experience blended sweet treats with even sweeter conversations. Under the guidance of the chefs at Venue, our members and guests tried their hand at blondies and red velvet cheesecake, which were all perfectly paired with w**es and laughter. These gatherings are designed to spark authentic connections, and this evening delivered.

Thank you to every woman who joined us. You brought your energy, your insights, and your good humor into the kitchen. We’re proud to offer space for women in our industry to learn from each other, lift one another up, and build lasting relationships.
