Architecture Canada | R AIC President’s Report The past 12 months have been a busy time for me in my role as President of the RAIC. In my opening letter to the membership in January I outlined the emphasis that I wished to place on the completion of the Syllabus renewal project and our continued support for the Broadly Experienced Foreign Architect (BEFA) program that was being implemented through the provincial and territorial regulators. As we start 2013, I am pleased to say that both of these programs have reached the desired milestones and are operational. We concluded a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in October with Athabasca University (AU) and have set in place the partnership for the renewed Syllabus program. The RAIC will continue to develop standards and monitor the performance of both the Syllabus Regional Studios and the work experience component of the Program. We have appointed a RAIC Syllabus Director, Liza Medek, FRAIC, and have also appointed a Syllabus National Advisory Council which has Architects with experience working in practice as well as in serving on regulatory councils and the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB). Syllabus will continue to be the alternative path to licensure in Canada and will remain founded on a unique work experience model. We have also updated the academic portion of the program and this will now be administered by the RAIC/AU Program Advisory Committee led by Dr. Douglas MacLeod, MRAIC, the AU Program Chair of the RAIC Centre of Architecture at Athabasca University. We expect the complete academic program to be in place at Athabasca by December 31, 2013. The BEFA program was formally launched this past September by the federal government at our IIDEX NeoCon Show in Toronto. We are pleased to have assisted the provincial and territorial regulators in this worthwhile project and congratulate the first successful candidates who have now been licensed in Canada. This effort also points to the continued dialogue and cooperation of the regulators and we are pleased to have encouraged and supported these efforts in our series of Roundtables. We hope to continue these Roundtables and to encourage dialogue and action on issues of national importance. In my role as President, I have had the opportunity to meet with the American AIA President in Washington, the Australian AIA President in Brisbane and with the British RIBA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in Venice during the Biennale for Architecture. We are working to learn from our Institute colleagues in these countries and to learn from their perspectives and programs. We expect to enter into a formal Memorandum of 1 President’s Report | 2012 Annual Report
