Mississippi State Board of Architecture issues education letter for social-media title misuse; approves private admonition for late CE hours
Summary
The board voted to issue a letter of education to a respondent who used the title "architect" on social media and approved a consent agreement imposing a private letter of admonition and fine for late continuing education hours by a landscape architect.
The Mississippi State Board of Architecture voted at its April 22, 2026 meeting to issue a letter of education to a respondent who allegedly used the title "architect" unlawfully on a social media platform. Executive Director John Cothron summarized the complaint and the board approved a motion to issue the educational letter and close the matter once the respondent provided assurance of compliance and evidence that the reference had been removed or corrected.
Separately, the board reviewed a late continuing education-hours matter involving a landscape architect (Complaint #2026-1). According to the minutes, the respondent had signed a consent agreement that provided for a private letter of admonition and payment of a fine; the board approved the consent agreement by motion (unanimous).
The minutes do not record the respondent names in the disciplinary items or the exact fine amount. Both actions were adopted by recorded motions with unanimous support and were described in the minutes as enforcement of title-use and continuing-education requirements the board oversees. The board did not record further sanctions or follow-up reporting requirements for these two items in the minutes.
The board's enforcement actions reflect routine complaint resolution and continuing-education enforcement processes for licensees; staff will follow up to document compliance before closing the matters.
