We had a great response from our 2022 survey. Thank you!
The Executive Committee uses these results to shape the strategy and approach throughout the year. We thought it was important to share some of the emerging trends with you.
North Carolina ASLA has a strong membership and the demographics of that membership are ever changing, we are committed to addressing the issues that you see as most important.
Here are some of the results that we found interesting.
In the 2022 Member Survey, you noted your top priorities are getting back to in person activities. You said you also want to see more concise virtual CEU options including a virtual conference option. Please fill out this brief survey to help us plan events in 2023 that serve you.
Planning continues for the 2023 Southeast Regional Conference (SERC) including our Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina contingents. In case you missed it, a "Save the Dates" notification went out last month and can be found here.
The conference is themed "Crossroads: Paths to Resilience" and will be held in Atlanta, Georgia at the Loews Hotel April 23-25.
The National ASLA is calling for volunteer members to serve on committees based on five focus areas: Community, Voice, Scale, Connections, and Innovation.
It'd be fantastic to have young landscape designers, landscape architects, and student members in North Carolina from our ranks join these committees. Most meet via Zoom monthly or quarterly.
