Ethics

edit

KHA is a known advocate for a professional[4] and collegial environment, equitable treatment, and for denouncing any discriminatory, intimidating, abusive, or harassing behavior.[5] In 2018, co-founder Frances Halsband led [6] a successful effort to amend the AIA Code of Ethics[7] to prohibit harassment or discrimination and commit to fostering a professional environment of mutual respect and equity.[8] In recognition of this effort, she was named one of ENR's "Top 25 Newsmakers" in 2018.[6] Frances also served as the first woman president of the Architectural League of New York (1985 to 1989), the first woman dean at Pratt Institute (1991 to 1994), and the first woman president of AIA New York (1991).[9] In 2022, she was named the 61st Chancellor of the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects.
