REGISTRATION BROCHURE

ANNUAL MEETING & CONFERENCE 22-25 JUNE 2011 JW MARRIOT WASHINGTON, DC

A WELCOME FROM THE PR RESID DENT There is perhaps no more fitting preamble to this year’s Annual Meeting and Conference in our nation’s capital than the familiar words on the Great Seal of the United States: E pluribus unum—“Out of many, one.” It is in that spirit that we—colleagues and friends representing NCARB and the 54 jurisdictions—gather together to review progress and take that next step into the future of the regulation of our profession.

The NCARB Annual Meeting is an important three-day event where Member Boards hear updates on the Council’s programs and finances, vote on resolutions, elect new leaders, and learn about what is planned for the future. It is your opportunity to become informed and discuss the issues that are vital to the Council’s mission and your board’s operations. Your attendance makes the meeting an effective forum to conduct the business that strengthens regulation.

It has been a busy year! Highlights include consideration of NCARB’s role in continuing education, the push forward to develop and achieve our strategic goals, implementing a greater leadership role for the IDP Coordinators program, and selection of the next chief executive officer.

You won’t want to miss hearing updates on these and other developments.

The gathering is also a valuable opportunity to meet with Member Board Members and Member Board Executives from other jurisdictions and leaders of our collateral organizations. While each jurisdiction is different, we all face common issues and concerns. The Annual Meeting & Conference offers the chance to exchange ideas and work together for the betterment of the regulation of our profession.

DC impresses everyone who visits. Its architecture, buildings, memorials, and public spaces are some of the most recognized images in the world. Between business sessions and workshops, you will have the opportunity to see national gems such as the Washington Monument, the U.S. Capitol, the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Cathedral, and many others. In fact, the White House is located just blocks from our home base, the JW Marriott Hotel.

All in all, the NCARB Annual Meeting is one gathering that you won’t want to miss. I look forward to welcoming you y in June!

MEETING ACT TIVITIES KEY NOTE SPEAKERS

WORKSHOPS The 2011 Annual Meeting and Conference offers workshops that will address timely topics of interest to Member Board Members and Member Board Executives.

BEA: A RIGOROUS ALTERNATIVE The purpose of this workshop is to provide a detailed outline of the new developments to the Broadly Experienced Architect (BEA) program and to demonstrate how these modifications/additions to the current process have increased the program’s rigor. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the BEA and to dialogue about the improvements.

THURSDAY, 23 JUNE 2011 “Outlook 2012” Jeff Thredgold, CSP Jeff Thredgold is president of Thredgold Economic Associates, a professional speaking and economic consulting company. He spent 23 years with KeyCorp, one of the nation’s largest financial services companies, where he served as senior vice president and chief economist. He now serves as economic consultant to the $52 billion Zions Bancorporation, which has banks in 10 states. Thredgold is the only economist in the world to have ever earned the CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) international designation, the highest designation earned in professional speaking.

Join us as Thredgold takes you on an entertaining, informative, and humorous “tour” of the U.S. economy, financial markets, education, employment, the global economy, government, and the future.

Issues he will cover include: Why U.S. economic growth will continue Why inflation will remain under control Why a slower growth rate of government spending—not tax increases—is the key to reducing massive budget deficits Why the outlook for construction and architecture may be better than you think!

FRIDAY, 24 JUNE 2011 “Less is More: The GSA Green Proving Ground” Robert A. Peck Commissioner Public Buildings Service, U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) GSA is employing cutting edge green technologies and practices to do more with less: to operate our buildings using less nonrenewable resources and to provide the federal workforce with a lower carbon footprint. We can do this by reducing our footprint, using less space, and encouraging mobile work.

Join us as Peck discusses the strategies for implementing these green technologies.

2011 NCARB ANNUAL MEETING & CONFERENCE Early Registration Deadline: May 12 Regular Registration Deadline: June 3

The BEA Committee’s objective throughout the development and refinement of the program has been that the new process must be equal to, or more effective than, the current process. This workshop will provide you with confidence that the new BEA process meets and exceeds program requirements.

The BEA program allows eligible architects to demonstrate learning through comprehensive architectural experience to meet the requirements of the NCARB Education Standard as an alternative to the education requirement, a professional architecture degree from a NAAB-accredited program. Eligibility for the BEA program requires registration in a U.S. jurisdiction and six to 10 years of comprehensive architectural practice.

This workshop will show you the new process and its rigors. The presentation will serve as a resource to Member Boards to help disseminate information about the new BEA process.

It will be available for download in the Registration Board section.

CONTINUING EDUCATION: EMBRACING CHANGE Join us in an open dialogue to discuss the merits of changes proposed in Resolution 2011-A: Legislative Guidelines, Model Law and Model Regulations Amendments – Changes to Continuing Education Requirements.

The Committee on Professional Development, Committee on Procedures and Documents, and the Member Board Executives Committee have spent the past year working collaboratively to analyze the current continuing education requirements of Member Boards, discuss ways to advance mutual acceptance, and identify ways to standardize continuing education requirements for license renewal. The outcome of that work is identified in proposed changes to Model Law. A detailed presentation and discussion on this proposal was shared at the Regional Meetings. Join us for a discussion of the proposed changes as well as possible implementation strategies.

ESSENTIAL NCARB NCARB and the member jurisdictions share the same customers. Do you know all of the ways that NCARB can help you function as a board more efficiently and serve our mutual customers more effectively? Come to this workshop to discover ways to streamline your processes and open up a dialogue of what works—and what doesn’t work—for your board. This is a panel discussion to help NCARB serve you—and the profession—with “value-added” in mind.

WEDNESDAY, 22 JUNE 2011 Icebreaker Reception and Dinner Newseum 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

THURSDAY, 23 June 2011 Noon – 1:30 p.m.

Annual Luncheon Service Awards

Since DC is the news capital of the world, our annual Icebreaker will take place in the Newseum, a “news museum” that expertly chronicles five centuries of news history and the media’s operations. We will be able to explore several levels of exhibit space, as well as the museum’s unbeatable terrace views of the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall.

Delegates and guests are invited to attend the annual luncheon. Service Awards honoring those with extended service to the Council will be presented.

The Newseum first opened in Arlington, VA, in 1997, and was relocated to its new home in downtown DC in 2008. Highlights of the building design include a 57 by 78 foot façade featuring a “window on the world,” which looks out on Pennsylvania Avenue and the National Mall while allowing the public see inside to the visitors and displays. It also features the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution etched into a stone panel facing Pennsylvania Avenue.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

The experience includes an extensive News History Gallery built around the Newseum’s impressive collection of more than 35,000 historic newspaper front pages; an expanded Interactive Newsroom; a state-of-the-art broadcast studio and control room with a smaller studio overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue; and familiar icons from the original Newseum—Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalism, a journalists memorial dedicated to more than 1,600 journalists who died while reporting the news, and segments of the Berlin Wall.
