SUCH ISSUES INCLUDE DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL LAWS AND REGULATIONS; ESTABLISHMENT OF A LIBRARY OF THE LAWS/RULES OF EACH JURISDICTION; FACILITATING INTERPRETATION AND UPDATING OF INDIVIDUAL JURISDICTIONAL RULES AND REGULATIONS; AND CONDUCTING BEST PRACTICE RESEARCH. ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MEMBER BOARDS EXTENDS TO ATTENDANCE FROM THE CEO AND SENIOR NCARB LEADERSHIP AT INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEETINGS, MONTHLY UPDATES ON PROGRAM INNOVATION, WEBINARS, AND NCARB EVENTS.A NEW LEGISLATION TRACKER SERVICE HAS LOGGED OVER 500 LEGISLATIVE BILLS AND REGULATORY ALERTS SINCE JANUARY 2013, INCLUDING SUCH TOPICS AS:-- LICENSING OF A MILITARY SERVICE MEMBER OR A MILITARY SPOUSE;-- IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTINUING EDUCATION LEGISLATION;-- ALLOWING ELECTRONIC SEALS AND SIGNATURES; AND -- PROPOSED LEGISLATION ALLOWING ARCHITECTS TO VOLUNTEER IN STATE-DECLARED EMERGENCIES.SERVICES TO SUPPORT ARCHITECTURAL LICENSING INCLUDE ADMINISTERING A NATIONAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM; DEVELOPMENT/ADMINISTRATION OF A NATIONAL EXAMINATION; MAINTENANCE AND COMPILATION OF CREDENTIALS AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT LICENSING DECISIONS; AND, AN EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM. RECORD SERVICES - AN ARCHITECTURE STUDENT, INTERN OR LICENSED ARCHITECT ESTABLISHES AN NCARB RECORD FOR THE PURPOSE OF DOCUMENTING THE CREDENTIALS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A LICENSE TO PRACTICE ARCHITECTURE IN ONE OF 54 U.S. JURISDICTIONS. THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE LICENSING BOARD OF EACH JURISDICTION.NCARB SUPPORTED OVER 90,000 ACTIVE RECORD HOLDERS FOR PURPOSES OF ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING CREDENTIALS REQUIRED FOR INITIAL AND RECIPROCAL LICENSURE, INCLUDING 40,000 LICENSED ARCHITECTS AND 50,000 ARCHITECTURAL STUDENTS AND INTERNS. IN FY13, THIS INCLUDED OVER 8,000 NEW STUDENT AND INTERN RECORDS AND OVER 7,500 REQUESTS FROM ARCHITECTS FOR RECIPROCAL LICENSES.FOR A FOURTH YEAR, NCARB CONDUCTED FACE-TO-FACE OUTREACH EVENTS, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MEMBER BOARDS, FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF EDUCATING STUDENTS AND INTERNS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC THROUGH EDUCATION, INTERNSHIP, EXAMINATION, LICENSURE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION. APPROXIMATELY 6,000 ARCHITECTS AND INTERNS PARTICIPATED IN THESE PROGRAMS IN FY13.THE COUNCIL CONTINUED ITS MULTI-YEAR PROJECT TO REPLACE OUTDATED 20-YEAR OLD SYSTEMS WITH AN FY13 INVESTMENT OF $1.4M. THE NEW SYSTEMS PROVIDE GREATER TRANSPARENCY TO RECORD HOLDERS, BETTER FACILITATE THE LICENSURE PROCESS WITH MEMBER JURISDICTIONS, AND IMPROVE OVERALL CUSTOMER/MEMBER SATISFACTION. THESE SYSTEM UPGRADES ARE HAVING A CUMULATIVE IMPACT OF REDUCED WAIT TIME FOR CALLERS AND FASTER RESOLUTION OF CUSTOMER DELIVERY ISSUES. AS A CENTRAL SERVICE REQUIRED BY ALL JURISDICTIONAL LICENSING BOARDS, NCARB DEVELOPS, MAINTAINS AND ADMINISTERS THE NATIONAL 7-DIVISION EXAMINATION REQUIRED FOR LICENSURE. THE EXAMINATION SERVES AS A FINAL MEASURE OF A LICENSURE CANDIDATE'S QUALIFICATIONS TO EXERCISE THE SKILLS AND JUDGMENT NECESSARY OF AN ARCHITECT IN PROTECTING THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC.IN FY13, NCARB ADMINISTERED 35,000 DIVISIONS OF THE 7-DIVISION EXAM. 3,655 CANDIDATES COMPLETED THEIR FINAL DIVISION REQUIRED AS ONE OF THE COMPONENTS NECESSARY TO REQUEST LICENSURE FROM A JURISDICTIONAL LICENSING BOARD.IN FY13, THE COUNCIL CONDUCTED A YEAR-LONG RESEARCH STUDY OF NATIONAL TESTING STANDARDS, ITEM TYPES AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES RELATIVE TO EACH. CONCURRENTLY, THE COUNCIL CONDUCTED A NATIONAL SURVEY OF ARCHITECTS, ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATORS AND INTERNS RELATIVE TO THE EDUCATION OF ARCHITECTS AND THE PRACTICE OF ARCHITECTURE. THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY, COMBINED WITH THE SURVEY FINDINGS, REVOLUTIONIZED THE TEST DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY EMPLOYED BY NCARB. A COMPLETELY NEW EXAMINATION, BASED ON THESE FINDINGS, WILL LAUNCH IN LATE 2016.ALSO IN FY13, NCARB MIGRATED ITS DATA TO A NEW ALIGNMENT BETWEEN INTERNAL STORAGE AND AN EXTERNAL VENDOR. AS A RESULT, CANDIDATES ARE RECEIVING FASTER REPORTING OF TEST RESULTS, AND ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESCHEDULE FOR A FAILED EXAM. A NEW ONE-STOP PORTAL FOR CANDIDATES CREATED A COMPREHENSIVE TRACKING RECORD FOR THE CANDIDATE AND THEIR AFFILIATED JURISDICTIONAL BOARD. THE COUNCIL CONTINUED ITS INVESTMENT IN A 2-YEAR PROJECT TO COMPUTERIZE THE MANUAL TEST-DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND DEVELOP A CUSTOMER SERVICE SYSTEM FOR EXAMINATION CANDIDATES. THE FY13 INVESTMENT OF $2M WILL YIELD A SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES GREATER TRANSPARENCY TO EXAM CANDIDATES AND JURISDICTIONAL LICENSING BOARDS; BETTER FACILITATE THE LICENSURE PROCESS WITH MEMBER JURISDICTIONS; IMPROVE THE SECURITY AND REDUCE THE COST OF EXAM DEVELOPMENT; AND, IMPROVE OVERALL CUSTOMER/MEMBER SATISFACTION. 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 52 0 1 103 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 11 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X ROBERT DICKINSON 2028790545 1801 K STREET NW SUITE 700-K WASHINGTON DC 20006 RONALD B BLITCH 25.00 X X 8784 0 0 BLAKELY C DUNN 22.00 X X 1359 0 0 DALE MCKINNEY 12.00 X X 4665 0 0 DENNIS S WARD 10.00 X X 3275 0 0 MARGO P JONES 9.00 X X 1382 0 0 SCOTT C VEAZEY 9.00 X 55516 0 0 JOHN R SORRENTI 6.50 X 2275 0 0 KRISTINE A HARDING 6.50 X 3675 0 0 GARY E DEMELE 6.50 X 3305 0 0 CHRISTOPHER P WILLIAMS 6.50 X 0 0 0 DAVID L HOFFMAN 6.50 X 1124 0 0 GREGORY L ERNY 6.50 X 1263 0 0 JAN B SIMPSON 6.50 X 0 0 0 LYNN S AXELROTH 6.50 X 946 0 0 MICHAEL J ARMSTRONG 45.00 X 331100 0 20870 MARY S DE SOUSA 45.00 X 231823 0 31351 ZERRIN SAYAR 40.00 X 177004 0 19775 ERICA BROWN 40.00 X 164779 0 17870 GUILLERMO ORTIZ DE ZARATE 40.00 X 164683 0 8899 STEPHEN NUTT 40.00 X 226495 0 26614 HARRY FALCONER 40.00 X 162680 0 17571 KIM KERKER 40.00 X 152618 0 19414 KATHERINE HILLEGAS 40.00 X 148825 0 24826 DOUGLAS MORGAN 40.00 X 147471 0 29228 1995047 0 216418 22 0 1 0 ALPINE TESTING SOLUTIONS INC 51 W CENTER 514 OREM UT 84057 EXAM DEVELOPMENT 2260896 PROMETRIC 1501 S CLINTON STREET BALTIMORE MD 21224 EXAM DEVELOPMENT & OPERATION 1413617 EXCELLA CONSULTING 2300 WILSON BLVD 630 ARLINGTON VA 22201 INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT 595290 DLA PIPER US LLP PO BOX 64029 BALTIMORE MD 21264 LEGAL SERVICES 271986 AGENCY Q 1825 K STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20006 INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT 140982 5 RECORDS INCOME 900099 16980747 16980747 ARE EXAMINATION FEES 900099 5841714 5841714 MEMBER BOARD DUES 900099 324000 324000 EDUCATIONAL INCOME 900099 75285 75285 ANNUAL MEETING 900099 70910 70910 29489 29489 23322145 194639 194639 4729215 4585235 143980 143980 143980 462983 32188 430795 430795 OTHER INCOME 900099 1766 1766 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS 900099 -4562089 -4562089 -4560323 19531236 18760056 0 771180 504512 1327312 7176378 335549 633651 19068 278450 25163 54818 320624 45000 705097 134448 1532266 2140040 999131 33486 637712 ARE EXAMINATION FEES 2102307 EQUIP RENTAL/MAINTENANC 1036355 CREDIT CARD FEES 696007 PERSONNEL EXPENSES 231695 228400 21197469 426 100 5472729 6609686 93468 280509 565399 496987 366403 509313 9620764 4522801 7521183 5097963 6976220 7651632 492683 583008 21488511 21229198 2008886 2407686 769051 235170 3227965 4362653 6005902 7005509 X 15482609 14223689 15482609 14223689 21488511 21229198 -1666233 407313 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 0 1 0 501113 103518 397595 1248741 900807 347934 7870910 3518476 4352434 5097963 LEASE INCENTIVE 2158773 DEFERRED COMPENSATION LIABILITY 583008 LINE OF CREDIT 1620872 4362653 X 24532826 407313 407313 24125513 -4594277 -4594277 19531236 25791746 4594277 4594277 21197469 0 21197469 DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X, LINE 2: THE COUNCIL BELIEVES THAT IT HAS APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN.
