The Potomac Chapter of ASLA

Kara Lanahan, President

Potomac ASLA is the Potomac Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), the national professional association representing landscape architects.  Potomac Chapter ASLA was founded to advocate for and serve members studying and practicing landscape architecture in the Greater Washington, DC region, including northern Virginia and suburban Maryland.

Chapter Leadership   


From ASLA:
ASLA Voices of Women in Landscape Architecture

 


Back in 2023, the Voices of Women in Landscape Architecture series launched with 9 profiles, and the initiative has continued rolling along, with new profiles shared via LinkedInFacebook, and The Field.

The series was sparked by a desire to showcase the diverse voices of landscape architects and all the amazing women in landscape architecture out there. We are looking for all different perspectives: those who are active in their chapters or in their local communities, and from all career path stages, wherever that path may be taking you.

For Women’s History Month, we are checking in with this ever-expanding series. Over the last three years, 98 profiles have been shared. Help us get to 100, and beyond!
