The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) renewed their 2009 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during the first annual “Strength Through Diverse-Cities Multicultural Summit” in Dallas last month.
2012 AIA President Jeff Potter, FAIA, and 2012 NOMA President Sanford Garner, AIA, LEED AP, signed the MOU, which reflects a commitment by AIA and NOMA to continue and enhance their combined effort toward a more diverse and inclusive architecture profession and built environment.
The MOU is also a call to action fostering increased collaboration at the state and local level. Individual members and chapter leaders are encouraged to reach out to their respective AIA or NOMA chapter to jointly sponsor events, share meeting space, or simply begin a dialogue.
