About us
NOMA, which thrives only when voluntary members contribute their time and resources, has as its mission the building of a strong national organization, strong chapters and strong members for the purpose of minimizing the effect of racism in our profession. Strength in NOMA is built through unity in the cause that created the organization. Our impact is felt when our organization wrestles with the dilemmas that face this nation, particularly as they affect our profession. There is strength in numbers. By increasing the number of people in this organization, we add strength to the voice with which we can speak against apathy, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance; against abuse of the natural environment; and for the un-empowered, the marginalized and the disenfranchised. By building a strong organization, we develop a showcase for the excellence and creativity which have been ignored for so long. Through our publications and conferences, we are able to inform the world that minority professionals have the talent and capabilities to perform in design and construction with any other group. By building strong chapters of design professionals whose sensibilities and interests include promotion of urban communities, we are able to respond to the concerns that affect marginalized communities and people. Our goals are to increase the level of participation in the social, political and economic benefits afforded the citizens of this nation and to tear down the barriers that make full participation unattainable. Chapters give members a base from which to be involved in politics, to visit schools and reach out to children, to conduct community and civic forums and to responsibly practice in our professional capacities.

*The president of our Houston NOMA Chapter* Dear HNOMA Chapter Members, Friends, Allies, and Families, In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, our hearts are heavy with concern for all those affected by the storm’s devastating impact. The damage and power losses experienced in Houston this week have brought significant challenges to our community, and it is during times like these that our unity and support for one another become even more crucial. We are committed to standing with each and every one of you as we navigate through this difficult period. Our thoughts are with those who have been displaced, those dealing with the loss of property, and those striving to return to normalcy amidst power outages and disrupted lives. Please know that we are here to support you in any way we can. Whether it’s through providing links for resources, offering a helping hand, or simply being a source of encouragement, we are here to assist our members and our community. We encourage everyone to reach out if you need help or if you are able to offer assistance to others. Together, we can strengthen our bonds and emerge from this crisis with resilience and solidarity. Stay safe, and take care of yourselves and each other. We will get through this together. With heartfelt concern and support, Micki Washington, AIA, IIDA, LEED AP, NOMA Houston NOMA President
