I hope you all have been enjoying the changing of the seasons. Internally, our Executive Committee is also preparing for some changes. Existing members will be rolling into new positions, and we will also be excitedly welcoming new members! Next month there will even be a new President.
Due to the tropical storm, Parking Day at NC State has been rescheduled for Friday, October 21, from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. The spots will be located at the intersection of Research Dr. and Main Campus Dr. on NCSU Centennial Campus.
We are starting to plan for the Triangle Holiday Social in early December. Stay tuned!
I cannot believe that summer is about over. I hope you all been able to enjoy yours. The Executive Committee did not meet in September, and our next meeting will be October 13. Even though we did not meet as a group, we have still been working on a few items.
Membership Survey Update
SERC 2023
Virtual Advocacy Day
Park(ing) Day
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.
Greenville will join the global PARK(ing) Day movement to temporarily transform spaces for cars into places for people on Friday, September 16 from 10am – 2pm. Two parking spaces on East Fifth Street between Reade and Cotanche Streets will become a pop-up mini-park featuring a hammock for relaxing, Giant Jenga and Connect Four games, and other activities. There will be discount cards to Blackbeard Coffee Roasters, and sidewalk sales at Backdoor Skate Shop and other businesses. We welcome the public to grab coffee or lunch from a local business, shop, and stop by and enjoy a little urban retreat!
I hope you all had a great May and are gearing up for a great summer! I’m not sure I’m entirely ready for the North Carolina heat and humidity, but I’ll just keep my sunscreen handy and my water bottle full!
May was a big month for me, not only did I get to see my parents, but I had the opportunity to finally meet many of you in person at our conference! Thank you to all our Sponsors, Exhibitors, and to each of you who attended. We can plan an event out in detail, but without your participation it can’t be a success. We would love to hear your feedback if you haven’t provided it already, please feel free to let us know your thoughts via this link .
