How Do You Honor Diversity in the Profession? Be Part of the AIA’s Diversity Recognition Program

The AIA Diversity Recognition Program invites program submissions that detail the contributions of AIA members toward the goal of a more diverse profession. Up to 12 submissions will be selected annually to be recognized as Diversity Best Practices. Possible topics for submittals—which must be less than 15 pages long—include a firm-wide focus on creating a diverse practice, proven record of pro bono work for disadvantaged communities or community groups in disadvantaged neighborhoods, creation/support of leadership opportunities for underrepresented groups, programs for maternity leave and paternity leave, sustained support programs for international employees, and many more. Submissions are due September 15. Electronic submissions are preferred and should be sent to diversity@aia.org. Hard copy submissions may be sent to: Diversity Manager Yvette Morris, The American Institute of Architects, 1735 New York Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20006-5292. For submittal requirements and more information, visit the program’s Web site.
