The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) is a nonprofit corporation comprising the legally constituted architectural registration boards of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands as its members. Its mission is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by leading the regulation of the practice of architecture through the development and application of standards for licensure and credentialing of architects. NCARB recommends model law, model regulations, and other guidelines for adoption by its member jurisdictions, but each makes its own laws and registration requirements. As a service to its members, NCARB develops, administers, and maintains the Intern Development Program (IDP) and the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) as well as facilitates reciprocity between jurisdictions through the NCARB Certificate. ==History== Illinois became the first state in to enact laws regulating the practice of architecture in 1897. In May 1919, during an American Institute of Architects (AIA) convention in Nashville, TN, 15 architects from 13 states came together to form an organization that would become NCARB. Emil Lorch from Ann Arbor, MI, was elected the organization’s first president in May 1920.〔http://www.ncarb.org/Publications/~/media/Files/PDF/Special-Paper/history.pdf〕 As expressed by its founding members, NCARB’s stated goals were: * To facilitate the exchange of information on examining, licensing, and regulating architects * To foster uniformity in licensing and practice laws * To facilitate reciprocal licensing * To discuss the merits of various examining methods as well as the scope and content of licensing examinations * To strive to improve the general education standards of the architectural profession in the United States 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Council of Architectural Registration Boards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
