“Through my participation in AIA committees, I have met incredible individuals who are pushing the envelope on sustainability, diversity, equality and urban growth in the design profession.  These connections have influenced the kind of architecture I practice and have elevated my perception of the role of architecture in Philadelphia,” said Roark. “AIA Philadelphia is poised to be a platform and a launching pad for a more equitable and diverse practice of architecture across our urban landscape and our profession.”

Erin also serves as a member of AIA Philadelphia Women in Architecture Committee, AIA Philadelphia Urban Design Committee, and AIA COTE in Philadelphia.  As an active participant in the Community Design Collaborative, she has led designs for numerous projects including the redesign of five city blocks for the Friends of the Railpark.
