FR310 – AIA Large Firm Roundtable: Intersecting Equity, Advocacy & Industry

Organizations are grappling with questions around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and the
AIA Large Firm Roundtable (LFRT) elected to confront those questions head-on in 2020. Four
years later, the LFRT, which represents approximately 70 of AIA's largest firms, will reflect on
the work of its Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) task force.

Join Jonathan Moody, CEO of Moody Nolan and JEDI co-chair, and a panel of his fellow task
force members as they discuss how a profession can inspire meaningful change within itself.
