SKILL | ED Pulse Checks

ASLA will be hosting quarterly SKILL | ED Pulse Checks, virtual conversations that explore how firms are adapting in real time, what strategies are working, and where the profession may be headed next. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear candid insights from leaders across the field and contribute your own perspective on what’s emerging, what’s shifting, and what’s next.

SKILL | ED Pulse Check: Building Resilience to Market Volatility - 1.0 PDH (LA CES/non-HSW)
Wednesday, March 18
12:00 p.m. (Eastern) / 9:00 a.m. (Pacific)

For landscape architecture firms, funding volatility creates a ripple effect from delayed task orders to disrupted project sequencing. This roundtable dissects the practical reality of project "pauses" and their impact on firm stability. We will explore how different firms pace work and manage project backlog, along with diversification strategies tailored to public and institutional sectors. Join us to learn how to maintain backlog resilience and effectively redeploy design staff during periods of financial uncertainty.

SKILL | ED programs on learn.asla.org are FREE for associate members!

Know Your Rights Webinar Series: Life in the Time of ICE

Be Prepared - Be an Advocate - Learn - Take Action

At a time when we see human rights being trampled upon, community care becomes a political act. Immigrant America is a living and dignified part of our community whose rights must be advocated for and protected. This year a collaboration between El Merequetengue (network of Latin American landscape architects and designers), Illinois, New York Upstate, and Northern California ASLA chapters, TERREMOTO, TOPOPHYLA Landscape Architecture, and CROW landscapes was started to learn about rights of the immigrant community, build acknowledgment, share resources, and support each other in times of fear and uncertainty.

The collaboration quickly grew and flourished in the planning of a series of webinars called “Life in the time of ICE." We turned our emotions (anger, frustration, insecurity, and desire to be proactive) into action. These webinars are a collective work formed in solidarity between a union of affiliate groups, ASLA regional chapters, and landscape architecture firms all interested in knowing how to navigate the attacks on the immigrant community.

The intention of the webinar series is to offer the landscape architecture community key information, resources and opportunities to take action. The series includes four parts:

• Be prepared: General overview of what’s happening, your legal rights, trends, tactics, how to create a workplace or individual plan.
• Be an advocate: Ways to build acknowledgment, do what you can do, and share experiences and resources.
• Learn: Know your rights with a lawyer from ACLU.
• Take Action: Apply what you have learned, put knowledge in practice (role play session), and share experiences of how we have put everything into practice.

The first two webinars in the series took place on February 26 and March 3.

• Third webinar: March 18
• Fourth webinar: coming soon

We invite you to join us, learn more about how to support the immigrant community and continue the conversation.
