When the new specialties first came out, USGBC told us that we could opt-in and have a “LEED AP+” designation, or if we did not opt-in, we would need to describe ourselves as “Legacy LEED AP” (which intimates inactive, to me). I have not seen the “legacy” word used in a long time, however. I opted in to avoid being viewed as a ‘dinosaur’ or an out-of-touch oldster with LEED.

If it wasn’t for appearances, I would have preferred to stay with a more generic “LEED AP”, as I have my toes in more than just one area!

As an attorney, it is a huge advantage just to be LEED ANYTHING! I think you’re smart in waiting to see how it shakes out, and you have plenty of time to do so!

Thank you for your article on this is very important subject.Very informative and easy read. I think it all depends on how interested you are in leed and if leed plays a role in your occupation. The CMP requirements will certainly keep you up-to-date on the industry if you do choose to opt-in to the new system.Hope so i will get the further updates in future.

Thanks,

Thanks Lesley, I appreciate the insight. That is sort of the direction I am leaning. I just need to gauge my time and need. I appreciate the comment.
