On May 14, 2024, the AIANY Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA) hosted Got License? at the Center for Architecture. This informative session featured Robert Lopez, RA, AIA, NCARB, Executive Secretary of the New York State Boards for Architecture and Landscape Architecture, and Martin Smith, AIA, NCARB, Assistant Vice President of Experience + Education at NCARB
