Sponsorship Opportunities
Did you know sponsors are the foundation of many of our programs? Their support of AIA Orange County allows us to expand our design awards; create events such as the Artwalk, member meetings, panel discussions, and COTE tours. Sponsorship further helps us build a stronger associates program to help members advance to licensure, and provide ADA seminars for license renewal.
As we look to the value of AIA Orange County membership, our goal is to expand the opportunities provided for you to learn, experience, and mingle with other members and our communities. We can achieve these goals through sponsorship support Click Here

NCARB Improves Exam Rescheduling Process
Washington, DC-Candidates who fail a division of the Architect Registration Examination� (ARE�) can now immediately reschedule the exam, under an improved aspect of the "My Examination" service introduced by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). While the six-month waiting period still applies to the actual date of re-examination, the old four-month waiting period for rescheduling has been eliminated by NCARB."This should resolve issues for some places or times when seat time in a test center is at a premium," said NCARB Chief Executive Officer Michael Armstrong. "Thanks to the new My Examination capability, and a suggestion from one of our customers, we are able to make this improvement." For more information regarding My Examination and registration for sections of the ARE, please go to www.ncarb.org.

The survey measures general business conditions at residential architecture firms while also spotlighting architects' expertise on particular home design trends on a rotating basis. As a result, the news media, consultants, and other industry observers consider the HDTS a credible and useful housing business resource.
Nowhere is such information more valuable, however, than in the strategic decision-making that drives the residential design and construction industry. Architects need ready access to reliable, profession-specific information to plan for a better future Learn More � |

AIA National Committee Opportunity -
Healthcare Design
|
The Design for Aging Knowledge Community partners with an outside group (Vendome in partnership with Center for Health Design) on a yearly conference, Environments for the Aging. This conference brings together developers, owners, design professionals, product manufacturers, academia, aging specialists, and government officials to explore new ideas for creating places that support people as they age.
It will take place May 3-6, 2014, at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.
The DFA KC would love to have some local representatives that could help out with content planning from the AIA side. They are looking for anyone with Universal Design, Aging in Place, Facility Design, or CCRC Design experience. In addition, this conference hosts tours of local (45min radius) facilities, and it would be great to get some recommendations of places.
Please forward an email to [email protected] if interested in participating in this event.
