Thanks, Mary Holley, for bringing this article to the forefront. I thought the AIA was about promoting education and architectural licensing, not to mention trying to retain members. I've never even heard of "Building Design Certification." This article makes me feel like I've just wasted thousands of dollars on earning a college degree. My goal is to become a Residential Architect. Thanks, AIA! Now everyone can design homes with just a few classes and looking over someone's shoulder!!
