WELCOME TO DCNOMA
The District of Columbia Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (DCNOMA) was established to spotlight minority architects, students, and allies within the built environment, giving a voice to Design Professionals who previously had limited influence in the development of D.C. communities. Our commitment lies in advancing the field of architecture by promoting diversity in practice and actively engaging in the education of aspiring designers. As one of the most esteemed and dynamic chapters, we aim to consistently provide networking and opportunities for all our members.
Our Mission
DCNOMA’s mission, rooted in a rich legacy of activism, is to empower our members to foster justice and equity in communities of color through outreach, community advocacy, professional development and design excellence.
Show Your Support. Wear the Mission.
DCNOMA is a nonprofit that uplifts Black and minority voices in architecture through community outreach, scholarships, and advocacy. When you purchase from our merch store, you're not just buying a shirt—you're funding the future of design.
