Brief HistoryBrief HistoryMay 1919 - At an American Institute of Architects convention in

Nashville, Tennessee, 15 architects from 13 states came together to form the organization that would soon become the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.

Today, NCARB members are the architectural registration boards of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands). Each registration board has state-appointed public and professional members as well as an administrator.

Two equally important responsibilities comprise the mission of the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards:

• to work together as a council of member boards to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the public and

• to assist member boards in carrying out their duties.

• 1897 – Illinois becomes first state to pass laws regulating practice of architecture

• 1919 – NCARB created• 1969 – NCARB established the title “Intern Architect” and

begins development of an internship program• 1972 – A national committee is established by AIA and

NCARB (IDP Coordinating Committee)• 1976 – Intern-Architect Development Program (IDP) begins

as a pilot program in Colorado, New Jersey and Texas

• 2007 – IDPCC renamed IDPAC
