So I just wanted to send out a thank you to all those whom attended Wednesday's meeting. The meeting went great, and it was nice to see that it is not just interns that are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to dealing with NCARB.
I think that we have gained some good allies in both Joe and Stan. They have offered to take any difficulties and complaints that we have and take them to the next levels via the NCARB and AIA levels. The one caviot that they gave was that any complaint be written down with as many names and dates as possible.
Overall we were assured that NCARB has been in a process of flux over the last year in a half in the purpose of fixing itself. Joe was able to give us some examples of staffing changes, and has said that the atmosphere in the D.C. office has changed. This was the reason he stated in the 49-1 vote of confidence for NCARB. It will be interesting to see the results in the future as they trickle down to our level. (Trickle down.....wasnt that a Reagon era policy?)
Anyways Joe and Stan have made themselves avalible to us for all of our gripes and are ready and willing to do something about it.

I think it is important for us as a group to assume that what Joe is telling us is true. Then as we proceed if we have trouble we should document it well and look to Joe and Stan for support.
I think Joe genuinely believed that NCARB could do a better job. I hope he is right. He did state that at any time the state board could take back their responsibility.
