IDP Coordinators
While NCARB administers and maintains the IDP, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) provides information and guidance for completing the program to interns and students. One of the ways in which it does this is through the IDP Coordinator Program. There are three types of coordinators: IDP State Coordinators, IDP Educator Coordinators, and IDP Auxiliary Coordinator.
IDP State Coordinators are appointed by each state AIA chapter. They are volunteers that stay up-to-date on the latest information on the IDP and act as resources for interns in their state. They often give presentations and participate on AIA and NCARB committees related to the IDP.
IDP Educator Coordinators are appointed by the dean of each NAAB-accredited architecture school. They are responsible for distributing information and providing guidance to students at their school on the IDP and the path to licensure.
IDP Auxiliary Coordinators are volunteers that educate their community about the IDP. They are often associated with firms, local AIA chapters, state boards, or AIAS chapters.
