COMMITTEES

Education Committee

The Education Committee is tasked with planning many of our events including but not limited to the WI ASLA Spring Conference, Field Sessions, ethics seminars, and other social events/gatherings. Thanks to their hard work, we have opportunities to gather and share our expertise and to earn continuing education credits. In an effort to bring more value to our members, this group consistently engages with our sponsors and firm partners to highlight new trends and to capitalize on momentum within the profession. Included within the Education Committee is the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS). The mission of HALS is to record historic landscapes in the United States and its territories through measured and interpretive drawings, written histories, and large-format photographs. If interested in joining the Education Committee, please reach out to one of its members below.

Members of this Committee help to plan social events that connect members and engage with students, spearhead campaigns to regain membership, and to highlight our membership's achievements. This Committee also works closely with the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus through the ASLA Student Chapter.
