The New York Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (nycoba|NOMA) would like to invite you to become a member of our local chapter.  Membership provides the opportunity for design professionals to be part of a network promoting cultural awareness and inclusion while pursuing excellence in the fields of architecture + design. 
 
Current members work together to create programming that will inspire audiences from across varied disciplines and points of view. Our membership is comprised of architects, artists and designers, students and educators, practitioners in related fields, and those seeking to enrich their understanding of the built environment. Membership perks include priority for limited capacity events, eligibility for leadership roles and nycoba|NOMA awards and more.
 
Membership is open to all interested in continuing a dialogue that enriches the diversity of those participating in our local and national design communities.
