    Thoughts on being elected to Council of Fellows: Becoming a fellow is both an excitement and an encouragement for me professionally as well as personally. I am even more energized and eager to accomplish my long-term goals:
    1.) Establish a licensing system for landscape architects in Asia, especially between China, Korea, and Japan.

    2.) Establish a worldwide licensing system allowing all landscape architects to share their knowledge and expertise.

    3.) To rebuild our society to be more sustainable, ecological, and economically healthy.
