National Organization of Minority Architects

The National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) is a professional association dedicated to supporting minority architects and promoting diversity in the architecture profession. Founded in 1971, NOMA aims to improve the representation of underrepresented groups within architecture through education, mentorship, and networking opportunities. The organization also advocates for equitable practices in the industry and seeks to address issues of social justice in the built environment. By fostering an inclusive community, NOMA works to create a more diverse architectural landscape that reflects the varied experiences and cultures of all people.
