NCARB 2013 Annual Report

VOLUNTEER
REPORTS

NCARB relies on the work of hundreds of volunteers to help guide our programs and services. From IDP coordinators to the Board of Directors, our dedicated volunteers lend their time and expertise to helping improve the architecture profession. In fact, most changes are thoroughly vetted through a multi-layered process that involves input from subject-matter experts, state registration boards, collateral organizations, and other architects at various stages of their careers. The work of each committee is forwarded to the Board of Directors for review and possible action.

OFFICER REPORTS

 

 

The NCARB Board of Directors is a volunteer board of 12 architects, one public member, and one executive from a state board. Officers are elected each June at the Annual Meeting by our Member Boards. All terms begin on July 1 and end on June 30 each year.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

 

 

NCARB has more than 20 committees that review policies and practices related to everything from the development and grading of the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) to the assessment of the Intern Development Program (IDP). These committees are made up of practicing architects, executives from the jurisdictional boards, and more recently, interns.

REGION REPORTS

 

 

In June 1964, NCARB officially agreed to create six regions. Each of the regions is responsible for its own method of organization, objectives, meetings, finances, and officers. Each Region elects a director to serve on the Council Board of Directors. In addition, each region has a chair that serves on the Council’s Regional Chairs Committee.
