New CPARB Member Appointed by Governor

Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire this month appointed Norman Strong, a partner with the architectural firm of The Miller/Hull Partnership, as the representative of the design industry on the Capital Projects Advisory Review Board (CPARB).

Mr. Strong served as president of the Seattle chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) from 2000 to 2001. He has a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Washington State University (1978).

CPARB was created in 2005 by the Washington State Legislature to review alternative public works contracting procedures and provide guidance to state policymakers on ways to further enhance the quality, efficiency and accountability of public works contracting methods. There are 22 members of CPARB.
