Texas ASLA

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENt

Hello Texas ASLA Chapter members:

World Landscape Architecture Month (WLAM), an international month long celebration of landscape architecture, is happening now! Through events and social media, WLAM provides a platform to showcase our profession to the public by highlighting landscape architect-designed spaces and demonstrate how landscape architecture affects all our daily lives. We can’t wait to see what you share so please tag @TexasASLA and use #WLAM2019 and #TexasASLA2019 when posting pics!

In addition to all the events that our sections have planned, our BIG event for April is our annual conference. Have you registered for the 2019 Texas ASLA Conference in Irving? If not, please do so here. Centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth, Irving is the ideal place to host our annual meeting due to the city’s focused approach in balancing the needs of their residents and businesses while investing in its sustainable development and economic growth.

Ask Me Anything

The next ‘Ask Me Anything’ features Diane Jones Allen, ASLA of DesignJones on August 14 at 3pm EDT LIVE, from ASLA’s Facebook page. Please share this information with the emerging professionals in your chapter. This program is a great opportunity to get to know an experienced professional that may be able to share successes, failures, ethos, work/life balance and what they have to bring to the profession of landscape architecture.
