ABOUT St. Louis NOMA

This is the St. Louis Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA). NOMA has been active since it was founded in 1971.

It is a proactive community of people interested in discussing ideas, collaborating, and supporting each other. With over 500 members internationally, the organization holds a broad view of architecture and its possibilities. From the diversity of its membership, it will bring a unique voice to this region.

The National Organization of Minority Architects has been organized to:

. . Foster communications and fellowship among minority architects;

. . Form a federation of existing and proposed local minority architectural groups;

. . Fight Discrimination and other selection policies being used by public and private sector clients to unfairly restrict minority architects' participation in design and construction;

. . Act as a clearing house for information and maintain a roster on practitioners;

. . Promote the design and development of health, living, working, and recreational environments of the highest quality;

. . Create and maintain relationships with other professionals and technicians whose work affects the physical and social environment;

. . Encourage the establishment of coalitions of member firms and individuals to form associate and joint venture relationships;

. . Speak with a common voice on public policy;

. . Work with local, state, and national governments on issues affecting the physical development of neighborhoods and communities;

. . Be an effective source of motivation and inspiration for minority youth!
