In continuing to improve our understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the architectural profession must not only examine our internal performance but also, we must turn our attention beyond the profession to the responsibilities we have to our fellow citizens.  How can the architectural profession make a difference?  In addressing that question, we need to hear from the public and from representative organizations who are working to improve DEI.

We must find more effective means by which the RAIC advocates for equity and justice in the built environment.  We can only do that in partnership with a broad range of advocates. To that end, the RAIC's Promoting Equity and Justice Committee wants to hear from advocacy groups who are trying to make a difference with DEI within the built environment. If you are interested in sharing your advocacy work with theRAIC Promoting Equity and Justice Advisory Committee, please submit an expression of interest with contact information by March 14th to pej@raic.org.

Groups do not need to be formalized or have a web presence to be included. 

Hire Ukrainian Designers is a volunteer initiative led by a team of USA and Ukraine-based architects who have created pathways to help Ukrainian design professionals - in the fields of architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, interior design, furniture design and visualization - find work opportunities with firms worldwide.

Remote work opportunities provided by firms in Canada and the USA provide a critical and urgent lifeline for those whose livelihood has been jeopardized by war.

The initiative has successfully matched over 50 Ukrainian design professionals with US-based design firms since March 2022, and are now looking to find matches in Canada.  
 
Join us Wednesday, March 22, 2023 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. for an information session to learn how to participate in Hire Ukrainian Designers in collaboration with the RAIC.
