NEW: DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION POLICY FOR AIA COLUMBUS
We are pleased to announce that the AIA Columbus Board of Directors have approved a Diversity and Inclusion Policy at the April Board Meeting. We have adopted an official statement for our chapter that reads:
In order to "encourage and celebrate the contributions of those who bring diverse experiences, views, and needs into the design process," per AIA National, it is AIA Columbus policy that awards juries, speaker panels, exhibitions, and Chapter programs as well as events and activities that represent the chapter to the public - endeavor to be diverse and inclusive according to AIA definitions.
AIA Columbus will encourage diversity participation and inclusiveness on the Board of Directors and other positions within the organization. The diversity and inclusion efforts will not be limited to any opportunities explicitly described here and will include any and all programs that further support the efforts of diversity within the profession and AIA Columbus.
We're excited to be taking this step towards focusing on the importance of inclusion and equality within the profession.
