He won the Outstanding President Award for the latter.

The approval and implementation of the new CPD Law has reopened the consciousness of all professionals, including the architects, on the value and importance of Continuing Education across various industries where professional practices take place.  As the practicing architect faces more challenges with the realization of more dynamic and vibrant regional and global practice, it becomes imperative to be constantly informed and updated on the trends in design, practice, and technology.What are the various opportunities available to the architect to gain continuing education?  How does one select from a variety of programs available?   Are there opportunities for an architect to be the ‘provider’ of continuing education?—these are just some of the questions that architects may begin to raise as they become more aware of—and responsive to—the need to continuously learn.
