2008 Conference Photographs

We are now underway with our agenda for the new operation year.  Our Membership Meeting and Annual Conference was a great success.  If you were not able to attend, I sincerely hope you make plans to join us in Indianapolis, Indiana March 30 - April 04, 2009.

For all those preparing for our Professional Examinations we now have all our review material on Compact Disk.  This change allows a faster and more economical delivery process as well as the ability for individual to download the review material on multiple computers for easier access in preparation.

Professional Certifiers and Members began receiving laminated membership cards and mini-certificates in January.  This will allow better durability and a longer lasting document for your use.

Our on-line testing process in now underway.  The ADDA Mechanical CD Examination is currently uploaded.  We are experiencing some errors in the reporting system, but programs are working on those.  On-Line Examinations will be Alpha Tested starting in late April to select authorized testing sites.  Our plans are to initialize full usage of the On-Line Testing in August of 2008.  Paper Examinations will only be offered under specialized circumstances.

The Revised Architectural CD Examination is nearing completion and the new review guide is scheduled for release in early August.  ADDA.   There has been a lot of work placed into this examination with all references and questions related to the Architectural Discipline.
