The Recently Licensed Architect Roundtable is an exciting forum that brings together recently licensed architects to share their feedback, experiences, and ideas to improve the path to licensure. As NCARB works to reimagine the licensure process through our ongoing Pathways to Practice effort, roundtable members can provide invaluable insight that will help ensure the future of licensure is flexible, accessible, and fair.

Through the roundtable, members will engage with recently licensed individuals from across the country to help shape NCARB’s future programs and services, provide feedback on a proposed future licensure model, and brainstorm new resources to support individuals on the path to licensure. 

Alumni members will have the opportunity to go on to volunteer for our standing committees, task forces, and even state licensing boards.

The Recently Licensed Architect Roundtable will begin its work in July 2026 and operate through June 2027. Members are expected to join several virtual engagement sessions throughout the year.
