Bryan C. Lee Jr., the 2025-2026 President of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA), has shared a call to action for members as part of an introductory address for the new year.
In it, Lee (who recently won the prestigious 2025 Whitney M. Young Jr. Award) states his intentions to strengthen efforts on a number of existing committee fronts and initiatives that will ultimately lead to greater equity and progress on social causes grouped within the broader tent of design justice.
"For every injustice in our world, there exists an architecture, a plan, a design that has been built to sustain it. [...] Architecture has the power to speak the language of the people it serves—we simply must choose to serve those without power. Over the next two years, our organization will focus on four key pillars of action through our committees: Educate, Elevate, Empower, and Engage," a portion reads.
