EMERITUS
READY FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF YOUR CAREER?

Emeritus status members certify that:
- They have resigned from my previous firm and relinquished my practice.
- They no longer sign or seal architectural drawings.
- They no longer market my services as an architect or consultant.
- They will refrain from establishing a firm or business name that will imply a continuation of architectural or consulting practice.
You may request an exceptional Emeritus waiver for not meeting the age requirement
