MSP NOMA
Our Mission is to foster justice and equity in our local communities of color through outreach, advocacy, and professional development.
MSP NOMA serves to create a space for minority designers to come together and share our experiences and knowledge within the design field.
Who are we? What do we do?

NOMA is short for National Organization of Minority Architects. It was founded by 13 African American Architects who sought to create a space for minorities architects and designers to share their experiences and combat discrimination within the design field.
