EDUCATION | EXPERIENCE | EXAMINATION 

The mentoring experience has a strong tradition in architecture, dating from long before the profession was a recognized field of study. Historically, the art and craft of design and building was passed along through master-apprentice relationships. In the 21st century, the value of this relationship has expanded as effective collaboration is required in a fast-paced, rapidly changing work environment.

Oklahoma IDP State Coordinator - Contact Jennifer Gann, Assoc. AIA at jgann@fsb-ae.com
IDP State Coordinators are appointed by each AIA state chapter as volunteers who are responsible for the dissemination of up-to-date information on IDP. State Coordinators manage IDP education on a state-wide level. The Institute is responsible for keeping all IDP Coordinators informed about changes in the IDP on a daily basis. Coordinators communicate with the AIA, NCARB, and with each other on a regular basis and are considered some of the most reliable sources for information on IDP. Also, the AIA funds these volunteers to attend an annual IDP Coordinators Conference where State, Educator, and Auxiliary Coordinators converge to learn about, discuss, and improve aspects of the IDP. 

IDP Auxiliary Coordinator - Contact the Chapter office for the names of local IDP Auxilliary Coordinators
IDP Auxiliary Coordinators are individuals who volunteer to educate their community about IDP by contacting the AIA National Chapter. They are informed about IDP by the AIA; communicate with other Coordinators, AIA, and NCARB; and are invited to attend the annual IDP Coordinators Conference.  Auxiliary Coordinators are not funded by the AIA nor are they monitored by the AIA. Their contact information is not posted publicly. Auxiliary Coordinators are most often associated with, but not limited to, an architecture firm, a non-accredited school of architecture, a local AIA chapter, a state board, or an AIAS chapter.
