Instructor Bio

J. Scott Eddy, AIA is President of Barlow Eddy Jenkins, P.A., an architectural and planning firm located in Jackson, MS. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and has been licensed since 1987. 

Scott has held all Executive Committee and Board positions within AIA/Mississippi beginning with Disaster Assistance volunteer following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He served as AIA/MS President in 2014 and has worked as the AIA/MS Safety Assessment State Coordinator from 2010-2013 and 2016-2017. He became a Cal OES Certified Safety Assessment Evaluator in 2010 and was certified to teach the Cal OES Safety Assessment Certification course to other architects, engineers and building officials in 2012. He coordinated three training sessions in Mississippi and assisted Mike Lingerfelt, FAIA with the Cal EMA - SAP Training program to certify more architects in Mississippi. Scott has also conducted a Cal EMA – SAP Training session in New Orleans, LA in 2014 with Ann Somers, AIA.

In 2011, Scott presented as part of a panel discussion on Disaster Assessment Preparedness at the CACE Annual conference in Philadelphia, PA.

As Mississippi has no “Good Samaritan” law to protect architects and engineers when providing Safety Assessments following a declared disaster, Scott has joined representatives from AIA/MS, Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the State Legislature to draft proposed legislation which can be put forth for action. Having worked toward achieving this goal for the past 8 years, he is optimistic that the legislation will soon become law. Scott is also working with state officials to determine where the Cal OES certified architects would best fit to serve as a resource following an incident.
