Hi Mark – I’ll be there, and from what I hear, a large number of the current UA students are coming out for the conference.  Should be a good time – hope to see you there.

Anyone going to the UA alumni event at ASLA San Diego?

Need more reasons to attend the event?
Now you have the perfect one!

I can say that since I’m also a planner in addition to an la (and have several times been the only planner on the office design team), I’ve always made a point to check my planning resources (web and old fashioned networking) for RFPs…[Read more]
