Shawn Kelly was nominated by the Wisconsin Chapter for his service-oriented efforts for landscape architecture. For three decades he has served ASLA at the national and state level, advanced the visibility of the profession within the regional Midwest, served outside of his official job duties at the university and contributed to the advancement of municipal stormwater management strategies and smart growth planning in his hometown.

Thoughts from a Peer: ?EUR??,,????'??Without Shawn?EUR??,,????'???s perseverance, the licensure effort in Wisconsin would likely have come to an end two legislative sessions ago. But thanks to his tenacious advocacy and leadership, the movement toward fully licensed landscape architects in Wisconsin continues to move ahead.?EUR??,,????'???EUR??,,????'??+Michael Blumenfeld of Blumenfeld & Associates
