Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Wisconsin Architecture and Building Industries

The goal of the Wisconsin DEI Challenge is to celebrate the progress firms are currently making to foster healthier work environments. We will build on those macro changes by honing in on specific details that firms should implement to empower minorities with opportunities for advancement. The process of fostering real change is supported by the guidance and expertise of Wisco NOMA, AIA Wisconsin, and all participating firms. 

The Wisconsin DEI Challenge will expose you to the reality of bias, limitation, and oversight that has been the norm for too long within Wisconsin’s firm culture. This is where the challenge emerges. To see “real” change, you must acknowledge that a real problem exists, and that all those benefiting from it are perpetuating that problem. Wisco NOMA is inviting firms to engage in the Wisconsin DEI Challenge to design better, smarter, and more equitable ways to work so that everyone benefits.

Please refer to our Seven Guiding Principles and Ten Action Items for more information about our values and goals.
