On March 18, 2016, Sandra Madison, AIA, NCARB (after 26 years with Robert P Madison Int., Inc.) became Majority Owner and the firms new CEO & Chairperson. Along with her two business co-owners, husband R. Kevin Madison, AIA, President, and Robert Klann, AIA, CFO, the firm embarks on a new chapter of the Robert P Madison International, Inc. (RPMI) story. Today, the firm is the largest black female owned architecture firm in the State of Ohio. It should be noted that only 0.4% of all licensed architects are black females. While it is wonderful to proclaim the firm has existed for 64 years, there is clearly more work to be done to improve these numbers. To that end, RPMI proudly supports ACE Mentorship, numerous high school shadowing programs to spread awareness of the Architecture Profession.
