The L.A.T.E. Show itself has been a very exciting and rewarding experience. Thanks to the support of some fantastic people, both Landscape Architects and suppliers, we have laid the ground work for a truly beneficial trade exhibition for the entire landscape architecture profession. Now, with all this growth and through all the excitement, one thing sticks in my mind.

The people who practice the art and the profession of landscape architecture are a truly fantastic group. We have been blessed with growing support and eager participation from almost everyone we have met! The people in this profession are great! That’s why we have so greatly enjoyed supporting you through your associations and organizations.

Some of the affiliated groups have not wanted our support, but we all understand that change takes time and with time will come a new understanding of the potential that this profession has to positively influence the lives of the American public. With this in mind, we would like to thank those organizations and their members for allowing us the opportunity to support them through donations, newsletter advertising, sponsorship and reporting your events:
