With recent appointee Harry Falconer, FAIA, joining Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA, and Tim Colley, AIA, members of AIA Virginia now occupy all three of the architecture seats on the APELSCIDLA Board. We are also happy to announce that Tim Colley, AIA, has been installed as Vice-Chair of the Board, and is anticipated to be promoted to Chair next year. Thank you, Tim, Helene, and Harry, for your dedicated service to the regulation of our profession.
We are further pleased to report that the recommendations of the APELSCIDLA work group appointed to develop a set of regulations related to the proposed alternate path to the architecture education requirements were approved by the full APELSCIDLA Board at its August meeting. Those regulations now advance to be incorporated into the forthcoming regulatory updates. The new path is expected to be fully established and available to aspirants in May 2026. We continue to receive appreciation, and eagerness, from those who will benefit from this change; and we look forward to their progress towards licensure and their beneficial impact on our profession.
