Michigan ASLA Lobby Day

April 29, 2008

We had a successful Michigan Landscape Architecture Lobby Day.  Members from many cities came and were able to talk about our legislature with Senators, Representatives and staff.  Lobby Day is an event where our profession needs to make the state legislature aware of the value, benefits and roles that landscape architecture plays in our state.  Members, ranging from Fellows to Associate Members visited with legislators and staff over lunch inside our State Capitol and spoke about landscape architecture issues of importance.

Contact your Local Legislator

The licensure effort is in process for a Practice Act for all Michigan Landscape Architects.  You can help by contacting your State Legislators!  Call or send a letter.  Each person's effort will help to strengthen the overall cause.

Practice Act -- How You Can Support the Effort

RE:    MASLA - Fund raising for Landscape Architects of Michigan Political Action Committee 

We need your support to complete our long-term goal to move from our current title act to a practice act for the landscape architecture profession in Michigan.  This is important as it would put us on par with architects and engineers and make it easier to seek work in other states with practice acts.  Right now we are better positioned to pass this bill than we have been in over twenty years:

*      We are only one of ten states in country who do not have a practice act for landscape architects
*       Our bill passed the Senate last year with bipartisan support
*       We have worked through all of the issues with our peer professions
*       Our bills are about to be reintroduced in the Senate and are expected to move quickly to the House 

We simply cannot afford to miss this opportunity to pass our practice act because we do not have the resources to shepherd the bill through the legislative process.

Education

The first step is to educate the public: legislators, clients or anyone that may not be clear on the profession.  Do you need help?
