selected Carrier Johnson Architects and JG Johnson Architects as
recipients of the Intern Development Program (IDP) 2008 Outstanding
Firm Awards. Carrier Johnson Architects and JG Johnson Architects

Architects, P.C., James Hundt Architecture, P.C., KTGY Group, Inc.,

The IDP Outstanding Firm Awards and the IDP Firm Awards are part of

not only the firms with the most remarkable dedication to the IDP,
but also those who meet baseline criteria in their dedication to
the IDP. Submissions for the new program are accepted on a rolling
basis, with jury cutoff dates occurring twice a year on January 15
and July 15. Recipients maintain their award for three years. They
are presented with virtual medallions for placement on their Web

representing the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Jaclyn
Toole, Assoc. AIA, representing the National Associates Committee

About IDP
The Intern Development Program (IDP) started in 1976 as a pilot
program developed by the AIA and the National Council of
Architectural Registration Boards to ensure the continued support
of interns by the changing profession of architecture. IDP is a
profession-wide, comprehensive training program that is focused on
the professional development of architectural interns. Through a
series of required activities, IDP enables participants to acquire
knowledge, understanding and skills that form the core competencies
related to successful architectural practice. IDP is structured in
a way that effectively responds to the training needs of
architectural interns by providing a wide range of resources,
established progressive benchmarks, advice and mentor guidance
throughout the extensive internship process. Completion of the IDP
is required for initial licensure in 51 of the 54 jurisdictions of
the United States.
About the IDPAC
The Intern Development Program Advisory Committee is a unique
cross-collateral committee, which includes three representatives
from both the AIA and NCARB, and one member each from the NAC,
American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS), and The
Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) as well as
one independent intern representative, a member from the Council of
Architectural Component Executives (CACE) and the Society of Design
Administrators (SDA). As a group, they are the IDPAC and they are
charged with monitoring the program and making recommendation on
IDP policy.
About The American Institute of
Architects
For over 150 years, members of The American Institute of Architects
have worked with each other and their communities to create more
valuable, healthy, secure, and sustainable buildings and
cityscapes. AIA members have access to the right people, knowledge,
and tools to create better design, and through such resources and
access, they help clients and communities make their visions real.
