Join the Design Advocacy Outreach Group (DAO-G)

Organized by the Architecture Foundation of Oregon in partnership with design and building professionals, community and youth organizations, AECD firms, educators and more.

The Design Advocacy Outreach Group (DAO-G) meets quarterly with the mission of increasing student access to architecture, engineering, construction, and design (AECD) fields in the state of Oregon. As a group of local partners who are aligned around this shared mission, DAO-G meetings are a time for us to harness this network to share opportunities for students, volunteer needs, resources, outreach efforts, and more.
