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.
