DESIGN:ED Podcast: Mike Armstrong

Mike Armstrong, CEO of the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), joins Architectural Record's DESIGN:ED podcast to discuss upcoming changes to the licensure process and how the organization is working to expand different pathways to practice.

“We have a multi-year effort underway to redesign the entire tool kit of licensure program options. Because we’re all different and all demonstrate knowledge differently, [NCARB] needs to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach and towards a more realistic and human-friendly way to qualify people for licensure.”
