August 2018
Wow... somehow August is here and, in just a couple of weeks, students across Kentucky will be returning to school! The summer break seems to have disappeared in the blink of an eye while we have been busily preparing for the important events coming up this fall - new officer nominations/elections, the KY/IN conference and an exciting day to celebrate our 2018 award recipients.
Because of our partnership with the 2018 National Symposium, the conference will be unlike any other. Be sure to check out the article below and visit our website for more info on all four days of conversations, tours and events.
In addition, our
October 18
awards celebration at Limestone Hall in Lexington is shaping up to be quite a day, with presentation of our Honor Awards and Special Awards, the Annual Meeting & Election of 2019 Officers, Continuing Ed presentations, and a happy hour reception to honor and network with this year's recipients. We hope you will save the date and join us for this unique opportunity! Watch for details.

NCARB Makes
Commitment
to Equity & Diversity
At an annual meeting in early July, the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) approved an updated version of their "Model Rules of Conduct," proposing new ethical standards for the practice and teaching of architecture.
Read More
NCARB also
released a statement to endorse a sustained commitment to improving diversity within its organization among NCARB staff, volunteer committees, and the 54 licensing boards in the U.S.
The statement outlines how architects are appointed to their licensing boards by governors (or a similar authority), which eventually leads them to NCARB's Board of Directors. It's pertinent for architects, and the profession at-large, to elevate diverse candidates for appointment.
