In Recognition of the Newly Licensed

The path to licensure is a long, arduous journey. The surface is only touched when one graduates from university—there is still the Architecture Experience Program (AXP) to complete; preparation for enduring the seven Architect Registration Examinations (ARE) , then of course passing the AREs, all while trying to earn a living as an associate architect. The pomp and circumstance march which traditionally accompanies a graduation ceremony normally signifies the end of a journey. In the case of the architect, it is only the beginning. In honor of those who have recently endured the process and are now licensed, the American Institute of Architects, California Council, (AIACC), recognizes those who have recently become licensed. “We look forward to seeing the amazing contributions that this new set of architects will make in the communities in which they live and design for, both within California and throughout the world. Congratulations to these emerging professionals for their commitment to the profession and their perseverance through the licensure process to arrive at this great accomplishment,” said Ben Kasdan, AIA Vice President of the Academy of Emerging Professionals.

The AIACC would like to take a moment and direct your attention towards those who have earned their license in the third quarter of 2016:
