NO MYSTERY to Becoming a Fellow in the American Society of Landscape Architects

This month, all members with 10 or more continuous years of full membership received a broadcast email from ASLA indicating they are eligible for fellowship in the Society. The Florida Chapter Fellows Committee wants to know if you believe you are electable to the ASLA Council of Fellows, or if you want to suggest to the Committee another member you think is electable. Any eligible member whom the Committee believes can be elected, can be nominated by the Florida Chapter ASLA Executive Committee.

The Chapter Fellows Committee would like to know your interest in being nominated and elected into the ASLA Council of Fellows. Only eligible members with a strong likelihood of being elected will be recommended for nomination. No later than the time of the January 2015 Executive Committee meeting, eligible members may be listed in the Committee report, and recommended for nomination.

If you want to know more about fellowship, please visit ASLA Council of Fellows and become familiar with the process. There is a generous amount of information.

Questions can be directed to Jeff Caster, FASLA, Chair, Florida Chapter Fellows Committee.

Fellowship is among the highest honors the ASLA bestows on members and recognizes the contributions of these individuals to their profession and society at-large based on their works, leadership and management, knowledge and service. The designation of fellow is conferred on individuals in recognition of exceptional accomplishments over a sustained period of time. Individuals considered for this distinction must be full members of ASLA in good standing for at least 10 years and must be recommended to the Council of Fellows by the Executive Committee of their local chapter, the Executive Committee of the ASLA or the Executive Committee of the Council of Fellows.
