GMC ARCHITECT AMY BELL SPEAKS AT "Girl Career Conference" IN ANDALUSIA

Andalusia, AL (April, 29, 2011) -- "Having knowledge about all professions are vital to the development of our youth. Personally speaking with young women about nontraditional career paths is an event that GMC is proud to be a part of!", says Amy Bell, Assoc. AIA, and Education Activities Chair for Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood. This sentiment best describes the impetus for the firm's commitment to encouraging talent in order to contribute the next generation of architects and engineers.

The Covington County Children's Policy Council hosted "Girl Career Conference" at Southside Baptist Church, Fellowship Center, 1213 West Bypass, Andalusia, AL 36420 on Friday April 29, 2011, from 8AM to 12PM. The conference focused on non-traditional careers for women specifically in the math, sciences, engineering and government fields. 200 high school girls were selected from their school to attend. The program was developed to inspire girls to think outside of the box when planning future careers and provide a link to the education needed to achieve these goals and dreams.

Bell is working on her fourth architectural project in Andalusia and thought that these designs would be great examples to share, and that young women in this area could relate to because of their close proximity to the projects.

"I think it is important to give back to the communities that help support Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood. I value the relationships that are formed through the different aspects of my profession. There are many traits that are key to the development of an architect, and I am happy to share my knowledge with the next generation." Says Bell.
