* Time to review your IDP Record *

Some IMPORTANT IDP information the National Associates Committee would like to share with you:

This April, NCARB will implement the final phase of IDP 2.0, marking the most significant change to the program since it began in the 1970s.
Below is a list of useful resources to help you understand these changes and how they affect your IDP progress. April 3, 2012 will mark the final transition of IDP.

Refer to the following NCARB press release site for current news:

California Architects Board Suspends CIDP Requirement for Licensure – 6/17/11

California Architects Board Suspends CIDP Requirement for Licensure – 6/17/11
June 17, 2011 By Nicki Dennis Stephens Leave a Comment

There is a crisis in the architectural profession: the number of individuals being licensed is lower than the number “expiring” each year. While the architectural education remains valuable to other industries, architectural school graduates continue to leave for other professional opportunities. Whether this is solely a function of salaries, or other factors, there is consensus that the licensure process is arduous. It is time consuming, expensive, and replete with administrative requirements.
In California, an additional requirement was adopted in 2005 requiring “evidence” in specified IDP skill and application areas. Comprehensive Intern Development Program (CIDP) was originally developed to enhance and strengthen the internship experience and to improve the intern/supervisor relationship through discussions about the evidence documentation.
Prior to adopting these programs in 2005, the California Architects Board (CAB), the licensing authority for the profession, had identified some concerns about IDP (i.e., role of IDP supervisor and mentor; competency assessment; experience alternatives; training areas and settings; IDP entry point; duration requirements; and IDP reporting). In light of the numerous improvements to IDP since 2005 (culminating in the complete implementation of IDP 2.0), CAB and its Professional Qualifications Committee re-evaluated its intern development requirements earlier this year.
At its June 16 meeting, the CAB voted to discontinue the CIDP requirement, which will require a regulatory change approved by multiple control agencies. CAB is currently expediting the regulatory changes and will notify all affected candidates once final approval has been obtained. In the interim, CIDP is required until the regulatory change is approved and codified. The AIACC will also continue to follow this discussion and assist candidates for licensure during this period.
We are curious. . . .what are your thoughts about how this change will impact the profession?

2011 Jason Pettigrew Memorial ARE Scholarship Nominations Open

2011 Jason Pettigrew Memorial ARE Scholarship Nominations Open 

Completed nominations and applications are due Friday, April 8, 2011, 5:00 pm EDT

The AIA Center for Emerging Professionals has opened the nominations for the 2011 AIA/NAC Jason Pettigrew Memorial ARE Scholarship. The NAC established this scholarship in honor of late friend and colleague Jason Pettigrew, who was committed to professional development and community service. The scholarship recognizes the significant contributions of interns at early stages in their careers and encourages them to complete the licensure process by defraying costs associated with the Architect Registration Examination (ARE).

To be eligible, a nominee must be an Associate AIA member, an NCARB Record holder, or a person who has passed one or more divisions of the ARE but has not passed all divisions.

For full eligibility rules, award criteria, and application procedures, visit the scholarship Web page. A committee of distinguished professionals will select the recipients, who will be honored at the Emerging Professionals Reception at the AIA National Convention in New Orleans.

About Jason Pettigrew   

                                                                                                

Jason dedicated much of his time towards the development and growth of others and was committed to community and professional service through the AIA. He touched many lives through his engagement and AIA leadership roles at the local, state, and national levels. As a member of the first NAC Executive Committee, Jason was instrumental in the formation of the NAC. He also served multiple years as an intern representative to the IDP Coordinating Committee and contributed to the development of the AIA Emerging Professionals Companion released in 2004.
