Last night Shepley Bulfinch welcomed members of the Boston chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (BosNOMA) for the chapter’s monthly meeting.

Design Principal Ralph Jackson led a tour of Shepley Bulfinch’s new offices, which it has occupied since January 2006. Coordinating the meeting was Shepley Bulfinch intern Sonya Bivins, vice president of BACNOMAS, the organization’s student chapter in Boston.

The organization has become an increasingly influential voice promoting the quality and excellence of minority design professionals. Boston hosts both student and professional chapters, one of a number of US cities to do so.
