Brief History

• May 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.
