Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation on September 29, 2008, requiring California architects to complete mandatory continuing education courses on disabled access requirements as a condition of license renewal.
This mandate will be required of licensees renewing their license beginning in July 2009. The Board’s implementation plan for this requirement will be determined in the near future and will be influenced by the resources appropriated for this new program. Information on the relevant portion of the bill can be found on pages 3 - 4 of Senate Bill 1608.
Visit the California Architects Board website for updated information and local programs to meet your requirement.

AIA Launches IPD Agreements
On May 15th 2008 the AIA released two new model agreements for integrated project delivery. The documents follow concepts in Integrated Project Delivery: A Guide, and provide two levels of design and construction integration. One is a transitional agreement for those less familiar with IPD; the second, a “single purpose entity”, offers a fully integrated way to deliver a project. Get more information about the IPD documents at http://aiacontractdocuments.org/ipd/.

In April of 2006 a group of us got together to strategize for our future Chapter.
The name AIA Palomar was chosen, duties were assigned and big plans were made.
One of our plans was to pledge $200.00 for ‘seed money.’ We would then consider the people who generously pledged this amount to be Charter Members of the new Chapter when it was established.
The following people became original Charter Members on that day-
Don Edson, AIA
Ken Chriss, AIA
Nasrin Barbee, AIA
John Maple, AIA
Bart Smith, AIA
Ed Edginton, AIA
Brian Church, AIA
Sjirk Zijlstra, AIA
The first board of directors of AIA Palomar has decided to extend this one time offer to anyone else interested in joining these generous people in becoming Charter Members of AIA Palomar. We will be presenting certificates and announcing the names at our July Industry Mixer.
The deadline to submit your donation of $200.00 is June 30, 2008.
Mail your check written to “AIA Palomar” for $200.00 to AIA Palomar, PO Box 1071, Fresno, CA 93714
