ARE & Licensure
AIA Hong Kong is honored to be a recipient of the Emerging Professionals Grant from AIA College of Fellows. At present, Hong Kong is one of three sites outside of the U.S. where ARE is offered. The grant will support the Chapter in organizing study sessions and gathering resources to assist candidates in licensure.
