We are currently accepting sponsorships for the conference. If you know of a person or organization that would be interested in a sponsorship opportunity, please let them know! You can view our sponsorship opportunities here. We are also in need of volunteers for the conference.

National Landscape Architects month is next month! Landscape architects will join across the country during the month of April to educate the public as to how their profession is well poised to address various issues. They’ll hold public events showcasing just what can be done through hands-on work with the public, speaking engagements and design charrettes. For more information about this exciting month, please contact Emily Mahoney at pastpresident@flasla.org.
Board and committee nominations will open shortly! If you have someone in mind for FLASLA leadership, please contact me.
As always, our membership is the most important asset of our organization. Our Membership Drive is important and is currently open. Remember that the best recruiting tool for membership is a personalized invitation from a current member! They could be a co-worker, a peer or a vendor. Take a moment today and make the request. Of course, we are here to help as well, so send us any leads that you have and our staff would be happy to follow up. We also encourage all members to keep their contact information current on both the national and state websites. Thank you for all you do as an active FLASLA member and we look forward to hearing from you!
