NC NOMA
2024 NOMA Large Chapter of the Year!
Our Mission
NCNOMA is the North Carolina Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects. NCNOMA’s primary mission is to develop the growth of minority students, interns, architects, and educators in the field of architecture, as well as champion diversity within the design professions by promoting excellence, community engagement, and professional development of its members. The organization serves as an advocate for people of color through its engagement with equity and justice. NCNOMA will act as a source of guidance, leadership, and support; continuously striving for an inclusive and diverse architectural profession.
"I derive a tremendous amount of pride in developing places that everyday people can experience. I like to create beauty in everyday lives."
Phil Freelon - Architect
