The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is accepting applications for its new pilot program aimed at advancing ethnically diverse women into AIA leadership positions.

"It's critical that, as a profession and industry, we work together to advance racially and ethnically diverse women,” said AIA 2021 president Peter Exley, FAIA. “We know that there's an opportunity to improve representation within architecture, and Next to Lead is one way we're working to make that happen."
