Minority Business Certification

Commitment to Inclusion

In 2022, our partner firm, Meyer Architects, underwent a transformative ownership transition, resulting in President Alicia Karr and Principal Phil Burkett becoming majority owners. This milestone not only signified a new and exciting chapter for our company but also reinforced our commitment to fostering an inclusive environment.

Meyer Architects, under the leadership of Alicia and Phil, alongside Principals Mike Stanczak and Dan King, are passionate about driving positive change in the design industry. Recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion, they are dedicated to creating an environment where all voices are valued, celebrated, and heard. We believe that embracing different perspectives leads to innovative design solutions that truly reflect the needs and aspirations of our clients and communities.

By promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within our own firm and alongside our industry partners and clients, we aim to foster a culture of collaboration, respect, and mutual growth.
