Meet Sarah D., ILASLA Chapter President!

Sarah’s involvement with the Chapter began in 2011 on the Awards Committee and has grown through several leadership roles, including Celebration Co-Chair, Treasurer, and President-Elect. Today, as President, she works with the Executive Committee, staff, and volunteers to guide the Chapter, support its members, and advance the profession.

For Sarah, volunteering has been both a way to give back and an opportunity to build lasting professional and personal connections.

Thank you for your leadership, Sarah!

Good news worth sharing! 🌿

While this news came earlier this summer, we wanted to make sure we celebrated this important milestone with our members.

Great news for landscape architecture in Illinois! Governor JB Pritzker signed SB 3897 into law on July 31, extending the Illinois Landscape Architecture Registration Act through January 1, 2032.

The legislation ensures continued professional licensure and oversight for landscape architects in Illinois and helps protect the public through continued regulation of the profession.

Thank you to everyone who helped advocate for this important legislation
