EMERGING PROFESSIONALs

The Emerging Professionals Committee is dedicated to supporting the career development of young architects and emerging professionals. We advocate for the needs of emerging professionals in the workplace, offer mentorship opportunities, and provide resources for licensure preparation, including support for the A.R.E. exams and AXP credit completion.

Our mission is to create a platform for discussion, growth, and professional advancement, while fostering a collaborative network of emerging and established architects. Through community engagement, we aim to promote the value of architecture and its positive impact on society, while ensuring continued development and success for future leaders in the field.

EP’ Huddles

EP’ Huddles are a series of quarterly catch-ups between Emerging Professionals at varying stages of their licensure journey. There we discuss our current progress, hear from professionals who’ve completed the ARE and strategize ways to stay motivated and succeed.
