meeting and advocating to states for ARE concurrency. Known issues
are reciprocity among states that already offer ARE concurrency,
i.e. Kentucky.
- NCARB’s plan to more strictly regulate IDP units
to a 6 month submittal process. As of now this model law will not
be voted on in June at NCARB’s Meeting
- Loan Deferment
o The NAC is currently working with Paul Medhelson and AIA’s
Political Action Committee on the possibility for Architectural
Intern’s to defer their student loans while in their Internship.
- AssociateNews and Forward, NAC’s national publications,
are focusing in on the common architect with their “Joe Architect” series.
AssociateNews is structured in a Q&A format that asks basic
questions from how intern friendly the firm is to what the firm
is doing about global warming and the 2030 carbon neutrality goal.
Forward is focusing on more in-depth editorial articles about the
firm’s position on the future of the profession, technology,
internship, etc.
- The NAC will be adding to the website www.archcareers.org
a tips and link page for emerging professionals regarding career
development.
- A Career Center is being added to AssociateNews which
brings links to career development websites.
- The NAC sponsored three programs at Convention, Didactic
Field Drawing, Speed Mentoring, and Alternative Careers in Sustainable
Design. All three were very successful and well attended. Didactic
Drawing will be submitted for next year’s convention in
Boston.
