EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The Virginia Chapter of the ASLA operates entirely on the energy and generosity of volunteers. As we attempt to make the Chapter vital and expand the discussion among the membership, we hope that you will contact us with your thoughts, ideas and contributions. We are actively looking for articles about issues affecting the discipline to include on this web site, as well as your thoughts on how the Chapter can best serve your needs. In addition, the National Chapter of the ASLA is seeking members to contribute their time and energy to committee work on the National level. For more information contact ASLA at http://www.asla.org/. We hope you will join us in shaping the nature of the Virginia Chapter of the ASLA. Help us begin to broaden the conversation! **The Chapter shall be administered by an Executive Committee comprised of the officers; the section chairs, if applicable; and such additional at-large members-of whom at least one shall be an Associate Member-as the Chapter may determine necessary and appropriate. The Executive Committee shall also include student chapter presidents and such other nonvoting members as the Executive Committee may determine necessary and appropriate. |
