EDUCATION & EVENTS

Our recent correspondence with the Kentucky Board of Architects confirmed that Continuing Education requirements will be unchanged for the FY2020-2021 renewal period ending June 30, 2020. Hours required for this renewal period must have been completed as of December 31, 2019. Online learning opportunities in April include:

Apr. 20 - COVID-19 Gov. Response: Implications for Business Development

ENGAGE & SHARE

AIA KY members are sharing and learning on our new community discussion board - Join Here!

Connect with peers in AIA's Knowledge Communities, such as the TAP discussion board, which has conversations on the best tech platforms.

The A'20 Conference on Architecture will most likely not occur as an in-person gathering this year and members who had registered to attend should have received a refund of their registration on Monday, April 13. For a high-caliber experience closer to home, we hope that you will consider joining us for the Kentucky/Indiana convention in Louisville, this September 17-19!
