Christopher PatzkeI don’t believe Terence to be a landscape architect. I could be wrong in that assumption. A quick web search seems to indicate that he is a career non-profit staff member.
On a different note, if one looks at the Board of Trustees for the ASLA it is decidedly an aged group of people. There are few young professionals. This begs the question: Is the Board of Trustees in touch with those entering the profession and do they understand the needs of young professionals? Since membership fees are high and salaries are low, are young professionals kept out of the dialogue that the ASLA could engage in? For instance licensure (older professionals did not take the same exam we currently take), work place culture (do they remember the struggle to establish a career) and innovation (how many of these people use CAD and understand the changing needs of a digital office)…and so, so many other topics.
We will inherit this organization (if we choose to) and what will we want it to be?
