RE: Mandatory CE for APELSCIDLA
 

Legislation not needed nor desired. I am no longer a member of AIA in part due to their requirements for CE and the often lame content /value of  seminars, classes, etc.  To assume that practicing professionals are some how not current with the latest codes, criteria, technical advances, etc. is simply ridiculous.  Those few who are not are likely no longer in business or are facing termination by their employer as unable to perform. Why stop with design professionals, let's have legislation to require CE for all jobs and professions. What other professions does VA currently mandate CE?
