Emeritus Status for retired profesionals?
 

I urge the board to make provisions for retired professionals (I am a retired architect) to maintain their registration as a badge of honor.  I'm sure that many retired professionals would accept board imposed restrictions, but please don't dishonor us by stripping us of a hard earned status symbol.  I propose that you create an "Architect Emeritus" (or other professional) category for retired professionals, excempting us from continuing education requiremnts and, if necessary, imposing certain restrictions.
