Advocacy
The Advocacy Committee coordinates the VTASLA Advocacy Day at the State House in late winter/early spring where we have an opportunity to speak with legislators to introduce them to the work of landscape architects and advocate for current and upcoming bills. The Committee also coordinates Site Tour Month in August, where we invite our national, state, and local representatives to visit and learn about sites designed by landscape architects. Volunteers on this committee will assist with logistics and structure of these events and outreach to both representatives and landscape architects throughout the state.
