San Diego Convention Center LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE RISING KNOWLEDGE VISION LEADERSHI P

Dear Colleagues, Annual Meeting Education Advisory As a profession, we are entering a time of Committee unparalleled opportunity. One of great promise. Robin Shifflet, ASLA One where the fruits of our collective efforts have begun to be realized. In July 2009, Engineering James Sipes, ASLA News-Record ran a cover article titled “Landscape Mario Nievera, ASLA Architecture Rising,” citing the ascent of landscape architects to the forefront of major engineering Mia Lehrer, FASLA projects. Speaking at the Congress for the New Annette Wilkus, ASLA Urbanism meeting last year, architect Andres Duany declared, “It’s not Elizabeth K. Meyer, FASLA cool to be an architect. It’s cool to be a landscape architect. That’s the next cool thing.” The Architect’s Newspaper featured a cover story in David Yocca, FASLA March about the surge in major commissions going to landscape archi - Janet Rosenberg, ASLA tects, stating, “Traditionally, the architect was the master builder with landscape designers as mere ancillaries. Today that relationship is fast Christian Zimmerman, FASLA being reversed.” Joan Honeyman, ASLA At no other time since the founding of our profession have we Gary Hilderbrand, FASLA enjoyed greater recognition by allied design professionals, the Peter L. Schaudt, FASLA development community, and the general public. Only we have the knowledge of natural systems as they relate to the broader built envi - Sarah Boasberg, Hon. ASLA ronment. We also have the vision to develop design solutions for the Mark Hough, ASLA long term. This is allowing us to emerge from the background to lead design teams on many of the most significant projects of our time. As Ruth Stafford, ASLA demand for ecological-based design grows, we’ll be called upon as key choreographers of public space in both urban and rural contexts. We Host Chapter Leaders must seize the moment as LEED, the Sustainable Sites Initiative*, and systems-based design reshape our cities. Glen Schmidt, FASLA , and Joe Esposito, ASLA , It’s with these thoughts in mind that we convened the Annual Meet - Host Chapter Co-Chairs ing Education Advisory Committee last November to begin planning the more than 135 education sessions, keynote programs, field ses - Laura Burnett, ASLA , and Emily Henning, ASLA , sions, and workshops.

Earn 21 Professional Development Hours

Professional development hours (PDH) is the term that ASLA and the Land - The ASLA Fund supports scape Architecture Continuing Education System (LA CES) use to describe how ASLA research, the library, archives, awards, much credit a course carries. One professional development hour requires at and the professional least 50 minutes of instruction. Additional time is measured in 15-minute education programs. increments. For example, each 90-minute education session equals 1.5 PDH. More than 135 education sessions, field sessions, workshops, and general ses - sions will be offered throughout the meeting. Full registration offers access to 21 PDH toward maintenance of your state license (where mandated); earn more hours by participating in ticketed field sessions and workshops. Following the meeting, ASLA will provide attendees with access to a certifi - cate providing proof of the PDH earned throughout the annual meeting. The exact number of hours accepted for licensure purposes may vary by state, but ASLA has made every effort to structure educational opportunities that adhere to the most widely acknowledged guidelines of state registration boards requiring continuing education. Additionally, ASLA registers selected appropriate education programs with allied professional organizations, including the American Institute of Architects, the American Institute of Certified Planners, and the U.S. Green Building Council.

ASLA/ACE Mentor Program Legacy Project

In 2008, ASLA introduced the Legacy Project, which seeks to promote positive change in the host city of the annual meeting and EXPO. The host chapter teams up with the local affiliate of the ACE Mentor Program to design a project to be installed after the meeting. Many EXPO exhibitors donate products and plants for the project, allowing ASLA to give back to the city that hosts the meeting. This year, ASLA and the ACE Mentor Program have partnered with the Friends of Ruffin Canyon to design and implement an educational and native garden for William H. Taft Middle School. The school will develop a curriculum to encourage students to discover nature, investigate history, and celebrate culture. The garden will be universally accessible, providing opportunities where children of all abilities can explore San Diego’s rich and diverse landscape. For information on how to assist with this project, please stop by the San Diego Host Chapter Booth in the registration area during the meeting.

Award-winning journalist and urban experimentalist Charles Montgomery Charles Montgomery has spent the past half decade searching for an - swers to that question, and finding them in psy - chology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics. He has discovered a striking relationship between the design of our minds and the design of our cities, a concept he lays out in his forthcoming book, Happy City. His message is as surprising as it is hopeful: Doomsayers have warned that action to tackle the urgent challenges of climate change and energy scarcity will lead us into decades of hardship and sacrifice. But evidence suggests the opposite: that the green city, the low-carbon city and the happy city are the same place. SPONSORED BY
