Whether or not you are a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects, your support of licensure is essential to maintaining the profession’s access to policy makers throughout the state.
Since 1998, the Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (VA-ASLA) has been pursuing an upgrade to our Title Act that was originally passed as law in Virginia in 1980. If successful, the upgraded act would further elevate the profession of landscape architecture in Virginia. The law ensures a higher standard of landscape architecture and help protect the health, welfare and safety associated with landscape architecture projects in the state of Virginia. (Virginia is one of 7 states that does not have a full Practice Act). Bill SB 940 @ http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?091+sum+SB940

All costs to date have been funded from donations and volunteer work.
We now need your help to continue so please consider financial support of the licensure of landscape architects. In a relatively small field, we are the sole voice at the state capitol protecting your licensed status. The strength of that voice and the visibility of the profession depends on you. No one else has that responsibility. Please support our licensure upgrade at one of the following levels:
