Next to Lead | Leadership training for ethnically diverse women in architecture

2024 applications are open

To create an architecture profession that serves everyone, we must include everyone. That’s why we created Next to Lead—an association and professional leadership program that removes barriers to AIA volunteer leadership positions for racially and ethnically diverse women in architecture.

Next to Lead is the first program of its kind to support association leadership for ethnically diverse women aspiring to be leaders of the AIA. It’s part of AIA's commitment to advancing racial equity in our organization, in the architecture profession, and in our communities. And it’s how we're committing to diversity for the next generation of leaders and ensuring everyone's voice and unique perspective is heard.

Racially and ethnically diverse women who are AIA members and have at least five years of experience in architecture are invited to apply for the upcoming 2024 Next to Lead program!

The 2024 Next to Lead program will kick-off in September 2024 and conclude in June 2025.
