AIA Cincinnati is an AIA Continuing Education Provider (No. A088). The Chapter's Program Committee selects topics that are designed to meet the professional and licensing needs of its members. AIA Cincinnati welcomes non-members and the public to attend any Chapter event. Many premier Component Partners are invited to participate in our continuing education programming by either providing content and/or speakers.
Registered members of AIA are required to acquire 18 hours of continuing education per year to maintain their membership in the AIA. Eight of the 18 hours must be health, safety and welfare (HSW). At the 2008 National Convention in Boston, delegates voted and approved that effective in 2009 4 hours of the required 8 hours of HSW must be in sustainability. For more details on AIA continuing education requirements go to: www.aia.org/education/ces/AIAS077015.
Effective January 1, 2006, all Ohio registered architects are required to earn Continuing Education in order to renew their license. The first two year renewal period affected started on January 1, 2006 and ends on December 31, 2007. Twenty-four contact hours are required every two year renewal period.
