AIA Georgia’s Equity in Architecture is a new initiative that expands upon AIA Atlanta NetWorking Women’s progress over the years. EQiA will foster a state-wide advancement of women in architecture so that all those entering or currently practicing in the field of architecture can become leaders in a profession that exemplifies the benefits of equitable practice. Our goals for 2017 are ambitious, and we won’t be able to achieve them without the help of a state-wide steering committee. EQiA is seeking 10-12 members to join this committee. We welcome men and women, architects and non-architects from all parts of the state. Committee members would be obligated to 6 meetings per year (1 every other month) as well as championing an initiative of their choice. We hope everyone will consider being part of this newly expanded initiative.
