A. An architect may only use the word "associate" in the firm title to describe a full time officer or employee of the firm. The plural form may be used only when justified by the number of associates who are full time firm employees. An architectural firm which loses an associate or associates so that it may no longer use the plural form is required to change its name as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, which change shall occur no later than one year from the departure of the associate or associates. Identification of the associates in the firm title, listing, publication, letterhead, or announcement is not required.
