Alternative Practice Informational

BosNOMA and the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) Equity Diversity and Inclusion Network host representatives from Payette, DREAM Collaborative, and Bruner/Cott Architects to address how their firms are going beyond the norm to move toward a more equitable practice of architecture. In a large panel discussion and individual breakout rooms, leaders and emerging professionals from each firm will discuss the intentional steps that are being taken to provide career advancement opportunities to emerging professionals. At a time where separating work and home has become challenging, the panelists will speak to avoiding burnout, increasing job satisfaction, and the importance of striving for equity in practice.

Breakouts:
Payette: Alternative Paths
DREAM Collaborative: Social Justice
Bruner/Cott Architects: Policy
