The AIA Board Diversity Council Mission Statement
The AIA Board Diversity Council strives to expand the diversity of the design professions to mirror the society that we serve; to promote awareness of the contributions of architects from underrepresented racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability groups; to encourage alternatives to traditional practice models; and to provide opportunities for an ever-greater variety of individuals to become architects, take advantage of leadership opportunities and influence our practices and our professional lives.
