New Program in 2009 for Emerging ProfessionalsHands-On Training in Roofing, Tile, Door Hardware Emerging Professionals Hands-On Training (EP/HOT) is a new program designed to provide architectural interns and newly licensed architects with opportunities for instruction and hands-on training in key components of construction. Historically, more experienced architects have developed vital relationships with product vendors, contractors and other industry members who are invaluable partners in identifying and resolving issues related to the architect's projects. Opportunities to develop these kinds of relationships have not been as readily available to those just entering the profession. AIA Kentucky and Builders Exchange of Kentucky want to remedy that through the EP/HOT program.
EP/HOT sessions are available FREE OF CHARGE to Associate AIA members and AIA architect members licensed within the past 10 years. AIA/CES learning units will be reported by AIA Kentucky for attendees. IDP candidates are encouarged to submit programs for IDP credit. To date, three EP/HOT programs have been developed and scheduled for the following dates and locations: January 14 - Fundamentals of Roofing, Lexington (click here to register) - CAPACITY FULL; waitlist registration enabled.
February 11 - Fundamentals of Tile, Louisville (registration available soon)
March 11 - Fundamentals of Door Hardware, Northern Kentucky (registration available soon)
For each session, approximately 90 minutes of classroom instruction will be provided, with ample opportunity for questions. This will be followed by another 90 minute period that will include demonstrations of product fabrication and applications, construction methodology and hands-on exercises, with discussion of shared experience and lessons learned. Participants will gain a practical understanding of each topic that will assist them in project design, specification-writing, and construction administration.
A limited number of seats are available for each program and AIA associate members and architect members licensed less than 10 years will be given first priority. Empty seats will be released 5 days prior to each program for others to attend, at a cost of $50 of non-AIA architects or $25 for non-AIA IDP candidates and others.
These initial programs will be evaluated by attendees and presenters, and additional sessions may be scheduled later in the year.

What Has the AIA Done for You Lately?June 2008 The Pinnacle of Practice Information In time for the AIA 2008 National Convention and Design Exposition, the AIA and its strategic partners launched an amazing array of practice tools that make architects more effective and the quality of your work even greater in the eyes of clients and public officials. New AIA Integrated Project Delivery Agreements Introduced at Convention The AIA introduced two sets of documents May 15 at the AIA 2008 National Convention and Design Exposition. The first, a set of three agreements, is a transitional approach to integrated project delivery and features an owner-architect agreement form, a separate owner-contractor agreement form, and a general conditions document that defines the responsibilities of each participant, with a guaranteed maximum price amendment. The second, more novel agreement is the C195™–2008, Standard Form Single Purpose Entity Agreement for Integrated Project Delivery, which creates a limited liability company among the owner, architect, construction manager, and possibly other parties, according to the specifics of a particular project. Howard Goldberg, Esq., outside counsel to the AIA Documents Committee, has prepared a detailed explanation of these new documents, available here. And for a full range of AIA Document resources, with a 100+ year history of consensus development, visit AIA.org. Putting You Ahead of Difficult Times AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker continues to offer insights plumbed from the AIA Work on the Boards research of how members are faring in the current economic downturn. His latest findings show that institutional work is holding steady, and firms in the South are doing the best in the country right now. For details, visit the latest Work on the Boards article from AIArchitect. AIA Marketing at the Head of the Class The new AIA integrated marketing campaign "Walk the Walk" is earning well-deserved kudos. Walk the Walk specifically directs potential clients to the AIA ArchitectFinder and How Design Works for You Web pages. The jury for the annual Architectural Record Excellence in Advertising Awards selected the "Walk the Walk" Architects Leading the Sustainable Evolution" ad as "Best in Class" for single page ads that appeared in the magazine in 2007. The AIA was one of 18 ads selected for the award. And the AIA Contract Documents received an "Honorable Mention" for an ad announcing the updated 2007 edition of the Industry Standard AIA Contract Documents. Connecting Members to Federal Agencies One other advantage convention-goers enjoyed in AIA Creates ARE 4.0 Resource Center The new version of the Architecture Registration Exam, ARE® 4.0 is now upon us. Candidates who passed at least one division in ARE 3.1 by May 15 may continue testing in 3.1 and have one year to finish in this version. Those who have not yet passed a test will begin in ARE 4.0. To help AIA firms and components guide their ARE candidates, the AIA has created a Web-based resource center for ARE 4.0 preparedness, where you will find frequently asked questions, updates on ARE 4.0-ready instructors and study materials, and insight into the thoughts and concerns that are part of this big change. Visit the AIA Get Licensed Web site today to make sure your firm or component is ready for ARE 4.0.
