Girl Power!

I have a couple of friends that were laid off last year, both female and both architects. They weren't planning on having to "go out on their own" but under the current economic circumstances that is what they are doing. They joint ventured on a Knox Housing Authority "Request for Proposal" recently and came in second in the selection. There were four firms short listed(my current firm did not make the short list)and all of the other firms were ones that have been established for years. They came in above all but one! I am very proud of them. I know they worked hard on the RFP and learned a lot in the process. It is encouraging to see people exceed their own expectations.
