Membership to Leadership
The National Organization of Minority Architects has long been committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the field of architecture. This commitment extends to promoting women in leadership positions, and the organization has made great strides in recent years.
Tiffany D. Brown, the Executive Director of NOMA, has been instrumental in this effort even as a member. In 2015 at NOMA Conference in New Orleans, she was recognized with the Distinguished Service Award. She has worked tirelessly to create a culture of inclusivity within the organization, and to promote the advancement of women in leadership positions. Her efforts have paid off, and today, NOMA is proud to have a number of talented and accomplished women in leadership roles.
One of these women is Pascale Sablan, the current President of NOMA. Sablan has been a member of the organization for many years, and has distinguished herself through her dedication and hard work. Alongside Tiffany in 2015, she was recognized as Member of the Year and today she is using her leadership skills to guide NOMA to even greater heights.
Sablan is quick to acknowledge the role that other women have played in her own development as a leader. She points to the many female mentors and colleagues who have helped her along the way, and she is committed to paying it forward by helping other women in the organization to develop their own leadership skills.
Together, Brown and Sablan are inspiring other women in the organization to step up and take on leadership roles, and they are creating a culture where everyone feels valued and supported.
As we celebrate the end of Women’s History Month, let us take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate all of the amazing women who are leading NOMA and NOMAS chapters to great things. We are proud to have two such talented and accomplished women leading the charge, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for NOMA under their leadership.
