National Day of Learning CEU: What You Need to Know About Sourcing Rare Woods

Two sessions will be held in-person at the Center:

• 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM EDT
• 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM EDT

You may also join online via WebEx.

Architects and designers across the country are invited to participate in a National Day of Learning to understand the complexities of endangered woods and available tools to ensure compliance with sourcing regulations and protecting their businesses.

Two lunch & learn sessions that offer 1 HSW: Health, Safety and Welfare Continuing Education (CEU) Credit for IDCEC or AIA will be hosted by Grace Jeffers, thought leader, design historian and materials expert. Wilsonart is organizing this event after conducting a national survey that found the A&D community needs more information about the materials they specify, particularly when it comes to natural resources. This event will address the lack of understanding within the industry, educate which woods should not be sourced, and provide a perspective on the complexities of this issue.

Those in NYC are welcomed to attend either session in the Center for Architecture’s Silman Room. Lunch and snacks will be provided and registration is required. Both sessions will also be livestreamed and those outside of NYC are encouraged to sign up and attend virtually.
