ASID DC Metro | Money Matters: Leading

Money Matters: Leading kicks off the ASID Washington Metro Chapter’s Money Matters series—a transparent, business-minded discussion for firm leaders and decision-makers on setting fees, determining compensation, and leading with financial clarity.

This session brings together voices from across the design industry to talk openly about the numbers behind firm operations and culture. We’ll explore how small and large firms approach profitability, equity, and pay structure—and how financial strategy impacts leadership and team success.

What to Expect:

• Insights on how firms of varying sizes set fees and salaries
• Real talk on pay transparency and equitable compensation
• Guidance on balancing profitability with people-first culture
• Honest peer dialogue among design leaders

This isn’t a panel about theory, it’s a conversation about what leadership looks like when money and mission align.

This event is part of the ASID DC Metro “Money Matters: Earning, Evolving, Leading” series. View all sessions here → [insert link]
