Ann Rolland Recognized as One of New York's Notable LGBTQ Leaders and Executives
Congratulations to FXCollaborative Partner Ann Rolland, who has been recognized by Crain's New York Business on their second annual list of Notable LGBTQ Leaders and Executives.
Ann is one of 58 honorees for 2021—a notably diverse group of enterprising and accomplished individuals who represent a remarkably wide range of organizations, industries, and occupations. They are the salaried embodiment of the LGBTQ community's vital role in the New York metropolitan area's economic and civic workings. Ultimately, the notable LGBTQ leaders and executives were selected for their career achievements, their mentorship of others, and their involvement in community and industry organizations.

Ann Rolland, FAIA, LEED AP: Motivated by the understanding that children's lives can profoundly change when they feel safe in their learning environments and enjoy their schooling, Ann Rolland has dedicated her career to designing urban schools. She is a partner at FXCollaborative, an architecture and interior design firm, and a fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Rolland has consistently pushed for a more equitable environment at her firm, participating in employee resource groups that support women, LGBTQ individuals and racial minorities. She is on the board of the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, where in 2019 she moderated the panel discussion: "Identity Matters: How Bias and the Influence of Heteronormativity Translates in the Workplace."
