BosNOMA

The Boston Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (BosNOMA) holds a critical responsibility in Boston’s larger building and design community in helping to foster the advancement of equitable practice and minority leadership.

This year at ABX, BosNOMA will provide a platform for minorities in the architecture and design profession to engage in frank conversations about the challenges of navigating through existing professional systems and the rewards of forging new paths.

Join us for a panel on working toward equity in practice, two podcasts that explore architecture and design professions from unique perspectives, and a B.R.A.V.E. conversation with BosNOMA leadership.

Thanks to our partners at the Boston Society of Architects Equity Diversity and Inclusion Network and Design Museum Everywhere for working with us to bring this content to ABX.
