No To Generating Any More $$$ For AIA Or NCARB
 

Since I'm already required to complete 8 CEU's a year to maintain my license in Texas, I've got no real problem with completing a few more for VA. I will say though that ALL the classes should be free, no more $$$ for the money-grubbers at AIA and NCARB. Most of the 1-hour classes that I do online for free now are offered by manufacturers and can be completed in 30 minutes or less. Recordkeeping is done via the AIA, even though I'm no longer a member, thank goodness!!!

If VA wants continuing education, so be it, but it better cost ZERO and take up little to none of my precious time.
