The 2017 ASLA Annual Meeting in Los Angeles is only two weeks away. I am excited to report that I have been asked to give a presentation on Membership Recruitment to the Chapter President’s Council during the annual meeting. This is a direct result of the outstanding growth we have experienced in the Florida Chapter in 2017.

 

ASLA hosted the Blue Ribbon Panel on Climate Change and Resilience on Thursday, September 21 through Friday, September 22, 2017, led by President Vaughn Rinner, FASLA.  The panel was comprised of 11 experts from various disciplines (to include EVP Nancy Somerville, Hon. ASLA) who will make recommendations for mitigating and adapting to climate change though resilient design.

 

All ASLA Members with ten or more continuous years of Full Membership 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.

 

Fitch Mid-Career Fellow: Research grants of up to $15,000 will be awarded one or more mid-career professionals who have an academic background, professional experience and an established identity in one or more of the following fields: historic preservation, architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, environmental planning, architectural history and the decorative arts. The James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation will consider proposals for the research and/or the execution of the preservation-related projects in any of these or other allied fields.
