The OAA recognizes its public interest mandate is best realized when its membership reflects the society it serves. To that end, the OAA continuously strives to eliminate barriers to work and advancement within the architecture profession on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, physical abilities, or religious practices.

A new portal on the OAA Website, found under the Resources tab, provides key links and references to the equity, diversity, and inclusion work the OAA is doing and includes relevant news, events, and reports. It will continue to grow and evolve.
