Recently the USGBC announced plans to modify the designations related  to the LEED Program.  This move was inevitable as there has been a flood of candidates lined up to take the exam.  There are over 60,000 registered LEED APs.  To avoid dilution of the credential the USGBC members were compelled to raise the bar.  Below is an excerpt outlining the proposed changes:

Good luck to all of the prospective test takers.
