Jeanne Lukenda, ASLA, Vice President, Communications
A career-long advocate for the profession, Jeanne knows
landscape architecture has a very compelling narrative to celebrate and share.
She believes successful communication of this to internal and external
constituencies is a priority and begins with “meeting others where they are”. As such, Jeanne continues to play a leadership
role locally, regionally, and nationally cultivating strong working relationships.
She has been proactive in numerous organizations and instrumental in creating new
platforms, whenever needed, to give voice to landscape architecture.
Participation in the peer organization, AIA Boston Chapter
(BSA), continues to offer her multiple venues through which to strategically promote
the mission of landscape architecture to the design and construction industry
at large. Jeanne is a member of the BSA Foundation’s Institutional Advancement
Committee and recently served on both the Membership Committee and Equity
Diversity Inclusion + Harassment Task Force. She was co-chair of the Women in
Design Committee for multiple terms and co-chair of the Women Principals Group
for over ten years, where she was a founding member of the Women’s Leadership Summit,
now a regular AIA national event.
Jeanne studied urban and regional planning and landscape
architecture, and is a graduate of the University of Guelph. She has been in
private practice for over two decades, and has received local, national, and
international recognition for her leadership and work.
