All nominees will then be reviewed by the ASLA Emerging Professionals Committee, which will narrow the field of nominations to up to five candidates if needed. Chapters will then be sent candidates’ names and will be allowed one vote. Ballots will be accepted from February 15-19, 2010 and the new Student Rep will be announced at the LABash.
 
The position of Student Representative to the ASLA Board of Trustees is a wonderful opportunity to meet and work with the leaders within the profession of landscape architecture.
 
If you or anyone else in your student chapter has any questions about nominee qualifications or the election process, please do not hesitate to contact me at jstecyk@iit.edu or Barbara Drobins at bdrobins@asla.org or 202-216-2324.
