CLARB Elects New Officers

CLARB establishes the standards for education, experience and examination that are required for professional licensure. CLARB regulates the profession of landscape architecture in the United States; Puerto Rico; and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Ontario.

The Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB) announces new officers and one new regional director to its Board of Directors. Each year, CLARB members elect a new Board of Directors to provide oversight and direction to the organization. Although Board of Directors serve on a volunteer basis, they are made up of the best and brightest leaders in the landscape architecture community.

The Board also welcomed Amy Kobe, Executive Director of the Ohio Board of Landscape Architect Examiners, as the Member Board Executive (MBE) Observer during the 2012-2013 activity year.
