Three Leaf Partners’ Post

Last week was fantastic as we had the pleasure of hosting Kim Greene, the Chairman, President, and CEO of the Georgia Power Company. Our agenda included touring various maker spaces and labs, along with engaging discussions with some of our amazing engineering students. I was thrilled that my Leadership Atlanta classmate, Jason Cuevas, and Georgia Tech College of Engineering Board member Latanza Adjei were part of the Georgia Power Company delegation. We are grateful for the ongoing partnership with the Georgia Power Company and Southern Company and are committed to further strengthening this relationship over time!

Born into an affluent San Francisco Bay Area family on this day in 1872, pioneering architect Julia Morgan bucked the traditional path for women of the time by attending UC Berkeley and majoring in civil engineering. She continued her studies at the prestigious, then all-male, École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, becoming the first woman to graduate from the school. She developed a reputation as a go-to architect and by the time she died in 1957, she had designed an estimated 700 buildings, mostly in California, where she was the first woman in the state to be licensed as an architect. Morgan’s groundbreaking career spanned a major earthquake, the Great Depression, and two world wars. Today her legacy continues through her iconic works which include Hearst Castle, the Chinese Historic Society of America, and the Berkeley City Club.
