In many jurisdictions, licensing boards regulate the practice of multiple design professions. To facilitate understanding among their licensing board members, ICOR’s member organizations partner to provide training and resources for licensing board members.

Board Member and Executive Orientations

Board member and member board executive orientations are held biannually.

During these training sessions, representatives from ICOR’s member organizations:

• Provide attendees with tools and resources to effectively carry out their role on their licensing board
• Explore how each of ICOR’s member organizations can support their professional licensing boards
• Discuss today’s challenging regulatory environment and the role licensing boards can play to help educate policymakers and the public about their work to protect public health, safety, and welfare

ICOR Practice Overlap Guidance Resource

The Practice Overlap Guidance resource was developed collaboratively by ICOR’s four national regulatory bodies. It provides a defensible framework for identifying where professional competencies across architecture, engineering, interior design, landscape architecture, and surveying overlap—and where they remain distinct. Grounded in shared regulatory inputs, the guidance supports fair, consistent, and competency-based regulation across jurisdictions.
