AIA Takes Next Steps to Address Discrimination and Inequities in the Profession
Washington, D.C. -- The American Institute of Architects (AIA) took another step to fight harassment and discrimination in the profession. In an effort to promote the highest professional working standards throughout the profession, and among its members, AIA is launching a comprehensive review of the processes by which all honors and award recipients are selected.
The review will be led by Covington & Burling, LLP and its partner Eric Holder, Jr.—who previously served as the U.S. Attorney General—to conduct a comprehensive review of AIA’s honors and awards programs and to provide actionable recommendations for enhancing program processes.
