SITES -- Don't Miss Your Opportunity to Advertise

MASLA has just unveiled a fresh, new chapter newsletter! The new newsletter journal includes expanded advertisements and an expanded mailing list and readership.

The new Journal format highlights great work and sends a strong message about the quality of work by the profession throughout the state. The half-size format cuts through the clutter and shows that the chapter newsletter is not a typical newsletter.

Each quarter, the newsletter will capture and promote the finest landscape architecture work in Michigan and spotlight trends and products and services. In addition, you will receive timely chapter news and a calendar and coverage of events.

Above all, the new format will elevate the image of the profession among prospective clients and allied professionals. People will look forward to receiving it, hang on to it longer, and be able to use it as a business and profession marketing tool. For Landscape Architects, it has an outward focus on showcasing the work to potential clients rather than a member-to-member-only exchange of news and information.

When you advertise in the newsletter, your message will reach over 600 registered landscape architects in Michigan and 1,000-plus prospective clients for your products and services. Now the newsletter and the profession will be promoted beyond just our profession. Instead, the newsletter will go to policy makers at the State Capitol in Lansing; parks and recreation professionals; to architects and engineers; to decision makers at townships and municipalities; to county administrators and county drain commissioners; and many more. Nowhere else do you have the opportunity to so efficiently target your message to your potential clients in Michigan. Consider advertising your firm and your talents. Space is limited and is selling fast. Don’t miss your opportunity to advertise!

Practice Act -- How You Can Support the Effort

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

Download the Government Affairs Committee's brochure on Michigan Landscape Architects (pdf).

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.
