Here are my thoughts on a motto. Some of it comes from the Baord Of Architecture and what in means to earn the title of Architect.
I solemnly swear I am a person of good moral character. I am am a licensed Architect professionally educated for five or six years by an accredited university or college. I have completed three years of training under a licensed architect. I have passed the professional exam leading to the title of Architect.
I am licensed by the state I provide service in. I will uphold the laws of the state, county, municipally or community I serve in.
I pledge to use good judgment in our service to clients and to our community in whole. I will work to ensure the health, safety and protection of property.
My decisions are based on my education, training and practice.
I will work to the highest levels of integrity, judgment, business, artistic and technical ability.
I will use professional judgment and be unprejudiced in my decisions.
I will provide service that leads to the creation of the built environment for use and beauty of individuals, families and the greater community.
I will continue to learn and educate myself in poser vice to my clrot shear
I pledge to share my skills and knowledge with my peers and to help further the education of my clients, builders, and trade partners in persuit of a better built environment.
I pledge to be a good stewart of this worlds natural resources and to work towards a sustainable environment.
Not bad. Might need to tweak a couple of typos. Not sure if this is a Motto or Rules of Conduct or other title. For instance, Lilija has been working on our Code of Conduct. I suspect that some of this overlaps some of what she is developing. Perhaps the two of you might want to collaborate on whatever you both want to call this? Thanks to both of you for your efforts! Please continue.
lets say Rules of Conduct.
A motto needs to be shorter.
As in one line.
Sounds good, Don. I look forward to seeing what you and Lilija create.
I am finally responding to this blog post. Sorry for the delay. I like what Don wrote. My one comment is to be less specific about education and years working as there are different programs. I went to CU Boulder which is a 4 year, BA in Environmental Design. I then worked extra years to be able to sit for the exam. So I would change the wording to read “I am am a licensed Architect professionally educated by an accredited university or college. I have completed the required number of years of training under a licensed architect. I have passed the professional exam leading to the title of Architect.” Not much different but covers those of us that came from different paths.
