EDI Committee Meeting
The mission of the EDI (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) Committee is to support AIA Honolulu’s work to create a just design community that represents the unique characteristics of Hawaii in the following ways:

Create safe space for discourse and emerging thought that expands the public image of architects and the architecture we create representative of the culture and history of Hawaii.
Bridge thought and conversation on the inequities and challenges in our community by listening and working with all generations of our design community and the people we serve.
Dismantle systemic barriers and the internalized beliefs they’ve implanted by developing pathways to our profession for underrepresented communities and fostering self-development at all levels within our design community.

Membership in the EDI Committee is open to all AIA Honolulu members.
