I just recently filled the only LA position in my firm in a region where there aren’t many LA’s practicing locally. I’ve been asked to develop some marketing strategies to increase what I can bring in to the firm. Any thoughts as to how to develop the marketing side of what I can provide clients?

Fibonacci again? Does anyone know this plant? Found in San Diego at 5000 ft. elevation.

Name that plant.

Looks like a pine tree from a distance with a flower that is reminiscent of a succulent. I think it’s a desert plant.

hi there,
I’m from Malaysia originally but have been living and practicing in Germany for the last 19 years, looking forward to share some experience with all of you.

I am from China, and moved to California for a few years.
Good to join this group!

A member in another forum in the lounge asked a question about resume’s and CV’s- where might she find a template to create these.
Here’s an online resource I found recently that might be of use to some of you-

Hey, everyone. Let’s get some discussions going. I’ve noticed that the top 5 active groups are always displayed on the main Lounge page. It would be cool to have this group always active and highlighted. Please, feel free to start your own discussions, no need to wait for me.

The Sunshine State…searching for that perfect orange.

Note: Buildings are “certified”, people are “accredited” – a possible question on the test according to a USGBC study group I went to. I am taking the test in December.
