BosNOMA (the Boston Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects) holds a critical responsibility in Boston’s larger building and design community in helping to foster the advancement of equitable practice and minority leadership. Our primary focus is on architects, designers and those that share a vital role in the growth of professionalism, engagement with the community and development of the built environment, which parallels the NOMA national chapter. Our mission is three-fold: Achieve diversity and socioeconomic awareness through public relations, outreach and community-based initiatives Establish strategic partnerships with key organizations aimed at strengthening our impact by building a wider network of alliances Invest in the next generation through design education, mentorship and support.
