As an AIA member, I already have a continuing education requirement. As a registrant in other states, I already have a requirement. Adding Virginia to the list will not create a hardship but the development of the program by the Board needs to be thoroughly studied prior to implementation. I would like to see the following:
Allow the requirement to be averaged over 2 or 3 years
Allow informal training, self study, and other less costly methods other than to spend a lot of time in "formal" or pre-certified programs.
Accept the licensee's current professional organization's (ie. AIA) requirements as proof of continuing education.
