Baker has been active in the organization since earning his certification in 1987. He first joined the NCARB board of directors in 2010 and has served in various leadership roles, including second vice president, treasurer, secretary, and Region 6 director.
“I look forward to exploring opportunities that bring more diversity into the profession and to introducing underrepresented communities to the power of architecture,” said Baker.
In addition to his membership in NCARB, Baker served 13 years as Governor appointee to the California Architect’s Board and has also been active in the American Institute of Architects as former president of the San Diego chapter and director on the AIA California Council board. He was elevated to the AIA College of Fellows in 2009.
In 2011, Baker formed BakerNowicki Design Studio with Richard Nowicki, AIA. We acquired the firm, which specialized in educational architecture working exclusively with K-12 and higher education clients across Southern California, in August 2021.
