Natasha Krickhan, OAA Councillor
“Based on direction from OAA Council, Ellen led her team to implement the OAA’s first-ever mandatory Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) education requirement—a sensitive, unprecedented initiative executed under extraordinary circumstances during COVID. Her strategic, well researched and measured approach overcame resistance, ensured timely implementation, and established EDI as a regulatory priority. In less than a year, over 4,000 architects participated in the EDI sessions—the results speak for themselves.”
