NOMA PDX is developing a Mentorship Program for BIPOC professionals in support of the NOMA PDX Call-To-Action Foundation Commitment #2. The intent of the Mentorship Program is to elevate BIPOC professionals in the industry, and it is open to professionals and students in the field of architecture and design in the Portland area.

NOMA membership or participation in the NOMA PDX Call-to-Action is not required to participate. The intended format of the Mentorship Program is a “laddership”, in which groups are formed with professionals at different levels of experience. However, we may adjust the format depending on the responses we receive from the survey, noted below.

If you are interested in participating, please respond to the survey, here.
Please respond to this survey by Friday July 26, 2024. (Note that your responses to these questions are editable until the noted deadline if you are using a gmail account only.)


This in-person Kick-Off Session on August 7th at 5:30pm after the survey deadline is intended to provide an opportunity for Mentorship Program participants to meet prior to beginning the program.

Please provide responses to the survey
questions, and we will do our best to incorporate your requests into the Mentorship Program. If you plan on attending the Kick-Off Session, please get your ticket no

Additional information & FAQ about the Mentorship Program can be found, here.

Please share this information with your firm and with any other colleagues in the architecture and design field in the Portland area who might be interested in participating.
