Our Mission

BosNOMA (the Boston Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects) holds a critical responsibility in Boston’s larger building and design community in helping to foster the advancement of equitable practice and minority leadership. Our primary focus is on architects, designers and those that share a vital role in the growth of professionalism, engagement with the community and development of the built environment, which parallels the NOMA national chapter. Our mission is three-fold:

Achieve diversity and socioeconomic awareness through public relations, outreach and community-based initiatives

Establish strategic partnerships with key organizations aimed at strengthening our impact by building a wider network of alliances

Invest in the next generation through design education, mentorship and support.

Featured Initiatives

Sub-Committees

As we develop and grow as an organization, so have our initivates. To accommodate our growth we have broken out into sub-committee groups that focus on key actions items. Learn more about different committees below.

Minority Report

An initiative born from the desire to share our perspectives. The Minority Report is an information hub that houses multiple forms of media that depict underrepresented experiences.

We do not own nor distribute any of the material we promote on the page.

Project Pipeline

Project Pipeline is a national initiative created by South West Ohio NOMA chapter that exposes middle and high school students to design through a series of educational programs tailored to engage and support their interests. We are happy to bring that same opportunity to the rising stars in Boston through a virtual camp August 19-21, 2021. Registration is open!
