National Council of
Architectural Registration Boards President C. Robert Campbell, FAIA,
awarded the President's Medal for Distinguished Service to five individuals
associated with the council who have made significant contributions to
the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare through their
service to NCARB and the practice of architecture. Campbell presented
the medals to recipients at the close of the NCARB annual meeting and
conference held in June in San Antonio.
First awarded in 1994, the President's Medal recognizes individuals who
dedicate a large part of their careers, energy, and wisdom to benefit
the work of NCARB, the public, and the architecture profession. The 2003
recipients are:
Kim Kerker, Washington, D.C. As
NCARB's assistant director, communications, Kerker was recognized for
her diverse contributions to council endeavors. She oversees design, development,
and distribution of all publications. Her talents also account for the
high quality of the NCARB convention booth and the eye-catching appeal
of council logo items. As a gifted designer and editor, Kerker has been
a principal guide in perfecting the council's “public face.”
Stephen Nutt, AIA, Washington,
D.C. NCARB Director of Professional Development Nutt oversees all aspects
of the Architect Registration Examination (ARE), the nine-division test
taken by all candidates in the U.S. and Canada seeking architectural licensing,
and supervises the council’s continuing-education monograph program.
His division also provides outsourced administrative services to NCARB’s
member boards. He was honored for his consummate professionalism and good
humor—qualities that lend themselves to the challenging process of crafting
the ARE.
Bonnie Larson Staiger, Bismarck.
An adept professional, Staiger juggles the complementary responsibilities
of executive director of both the North Dakota State Board of Architecture
and AIA North Dakota. She was honored for her long-term contributions
to NCARB, which include chairing the Member Board Executives Committee
in 2002-2003. Under her tutelage, the MBE Committee developed a wide range
of resources benefiting both veteran and novice board executives.
Stephen A. Usry, AIA, Myrtle Beach,
S.C. A well-respected advocate for the architecture profession’s
most vital constituency: its student/intern population, Usry has served
as chair and member of NCARB’s Committee on the Intern Development
Program (IDP) and as South Carolina's IDP State Coordinator. From 1990
through 2003, he was appointed to the South Carolina Board of Architectural
Examiners, where he was twice elected chair. Usry, president of Usry Wolfe
Koll Architecture, Inc., is registered to practice in North Carolina and
South Carolina.
Lynn Webster, FRAIC, Calgary, Canada.
Former chair of the Committee of Canadian Architectural Councils, Webster
was honored for her support of the joint mission uniting U.S. and Canadian
architects in their efforts to protect the public health, safety, and
welfare. Webster is a fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada
and currently serves as the immediate past president of the Alberta Association
of Architects. She is a partner and project architect at The Cohos Evamy
Partners, Calgary, where she has compiled a remarkable record of achievement
in the research, programming, and design of health-care environments.
