What Can You Do Through the AIA to Make our Profession More Diverse?

Although diversity in race, gender, and age is growing in many of our firms, there is still much to be done. Join us to discuss and plan what we can do through AIABaltimore to promote diversity in the architectural profession. We will meet on Wednesday, June 4, at 5:30 p.m. in the AIABaltimore Gallery to discuss possible program topics, speakers, panel discussions, and other ideas you may have. Contact Kathleen Sherrill, AIA, Board Liaison and Chair of the Diversity Committee, ksherrill@sparch-inc.com or 410.580.9106.
