Licensure Web Summit
2020-08-18 12:00 - 13:00
CLARB will host a joint Licensure Web Summit on August 18, at 3:00 p.m. EDT. With COVID-19 and licensure mobility leading the regulation headlines for the last few months, it is important for our community to remember deregulation efforts remain an active threat to licensure as we know it. While mobility is something we can all promote (pre-, during, and post-COVID-19), we also know rigid licensure requirements must remain in place to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare—something the opposition is quick to de-emphasize. The government affairs teams from CLARB and ASLA will share lessons learned from the 2020 legislative session, current trends, and what we expect to see in 2021. We encourage all members to join and learn more about what your chapter needs to know to be prepared for what’s to come. Click here to register.

How So Calif. Can Lead the Region to a Sustainable Future!
2020-06-04 12:00 - 13:00
Join Gary Lai from AHBE/MIG for a webinar on the role of landscape architects and climate change.
In 2018, the United Nations’ International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released their special report recommending keeping the world at 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. In response, municipalities, non-governmental environmental groups and AE industry professional organizations have dubbed this decade as the “Decade of Action” on Climate Change response. Landscape Architects are uniquely positioned to not only make a difference in this fight, but to lead the effort. Please join me for a discussion on climate change, local sustainability efforts, how Landscape Architects will be the key to humanity’s future and how you can get involved.
