PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Drake Fowler

I want to invite you to Asheville for the 2024 NCASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture. This conference is going to ELEVATE the profession and we will scale new heights through the many wonderful speaking sessions and tours that we have lined up. You do not want to miss this conference. We are so excited to welcome our keynote speaker Torey Carter-Conneen. Torey has serves as the CEO of ASLA. There are so many learning opportunities at this conference and if you are looking for topography, we got it.

I have lived in Asheville for 20 years now, and it is a great funky mountain town. If you lose your way on I-40 just follow the energy to our little nexus in the mountains, good vibes y’all. If you arrive Wednesday, come to The North Carolina Arboretum, my favorite place, for a great set of tours and talks. Thursday is the main event and be sure to say hello to our great vendors that support our chapter. Finally, spend Friday touring the grounds at Biltmore or touring a brewery. Stay the weekend and tour the Blue Ridge Parkway, see some live music, and eat at some great restaurants downtown.

I hope to see you in Asheville this June. Register now!

Thank you,

Drake Fowler, NCASLA President
