Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Resources
We are committed to supporting Equity, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives and programs for people of all backgrounds.
"The American Institute of Architects, as part of the global community, champions a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion within the profession of architecture to create a better environment for all." 1 AIA Northeast Illinois is committed to working with all our members and communities to fulfill this mission statement.
We hope that sharing these resources will encourage people to listen, learn and affirm their commitment to take an active role as part of the solution.
We want to thank AIA National, AIA Illinois, AIA Chicago and others for many of these resources to share with our chapter.
