Florida Chapter Category: Service

Andrew Witkin has worked tirelessly for over 30 years with a singular goal-to continually advance the profession of landscape architecture, primarily through working with universities and allied professional groups. He is the only landscape architect to be inducted into the Builders Association of South Florida (BASF) Hall of Fame for his leadership on educating hundreds within the building industry on the role and skill set of landscape architects. Andrew was one of the first professionals to raise and address the concern of sea level rise and the environmental impacts in South Florida and advocate for design solutions. For twelve years, Andrew served on the Biscayne Bay Shoreline Development Review Committee whose mission is to preserve the area's natural, recreational, and aesthetic values. At Penn State he serves on the Philanthropic Council and designed and coordinated "Preparing for Professional Practice," a program for Penn State students to experience landscape architecture practices in Pennsylvania. His commitment to his community includes pro bono services to assist abandoned children and homeless men and women through HIS House, the Lotus House, The Chapman Partnership, and Broward Outreach; to numerous houses of worship; and as a founding board member of the Woland Foundation, dedicated to helping the next generation of women in the arts.
