NCARB 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

Expanding Horizons

SECRETARY

Gregory L. Erny, NCARB, AIA

No stone is left unturned in searching for fresh avenues to improve our programs for aspiring architects and practitioners. Progress can’t be made in a vacuum, which is why we are always open and receptive to the new insights, reliable knowledge, and expertise of others.

 

This innovation begins with NCARB’s 54 Member Boards. Their guidance is essential to every aspect of what we do to strengthen the national standards for architectural education, experience, and examination.

 

As secretary, I was honored to be part of the ongoing dialogue with Member Boards regarding the evolution of the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®). In fact, I first volunteered for an examination committee in 1998—just one year after
NCARB rolled out the computer-based exam. With the launch of ARE 5.0 around the corner, I could not be more thrilled to see the next phase of the exam come to fruition. Innovations to our programs would not be possible without the vision and dedication of our volunteer committees, which you can read about in this section.

 

The leadership of our regions, as well as continued collaboration with partner organizations, has also been a rich resource for unique points of view. Representatives from all four architectural collaterals were part of the Licensure Task Force—a team I am excited to join in this fiscal year. As NCARB moves forward with the integrated path to licensure, we will continue to look to

our Member Boards, volunteers, and partners for feedback
and support.

 

It is this constant growth in perspective that enables NCARB
to make smart, timely, and effective improvements to the path
to licensure.
