Well that sure struck a cord with us here at LASN. Some of you may have noticed throughout the years that LASN has been an advocate of the registration/licensure of landscape architects, so we immediately set to the task of rectifying this lapse in focus.

ASLA New Orleans

I hope many of you are making plans to attend the ASLA annual meeting in New Orleans this year. The meeting takes place October 30 through November 2. The meeting is always a great place to renew old friendships, make new ones, and see first hand the many advancements in the profession.

LASN will be there in full force. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible . . . So until then . . .

Have a great summer and of course . . .
