AIA New Jersey Guides to Equitable Practice Lecture Series

For architects to meet the professional challenges of today and tomorrow’s global marketplace, we must adjust our business perspective to include, respect and embrace a diverse industry and clientele. The AIA Guides for Equitable Practice, created in partnership with the University of Minnesota and the American Institute of Architects’ Equity and the Future of Architecture Committee (EQFA) are a vital part of AIA’s long-term commitment to leading efforts to ensure that the profession of architecture is as diverse as the population we serve. The AIA New Jersey Equity in Architecture Committee has developed a lecture series designed to train our individual members, principals and project managers in the equitable administration of nine segments of Architectural Practice. With implementation, these lessons will make the business and professional case for ensuring that each organization meets the career development, professional environment, and cultural awareness expectations of current and future employees and clients. Ultimately, it is the goal of AIA that these Guides will shape our shared goal of a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable profession for all without regard to race, gender, religion, sexual orientation/identity, or socioeconomic background. 

Each session corresponds with a different one of the nine Equity Guides and is expected to provide 2 CEU (pending approval).  All events are free through the courtesy of the hosting showroom but require advanced registration. Registration details will be announced shortly before each program date.
