Advocacy is a critical component of VA ASLA. The Government Affairs Committee is dedicated to monitoring issues related to the practice of Landscape Architecture in the Commonwealth of Virginia and to protecting the health, safety, and well-being of the public and environment. 

The Chapter regularly tracks legislation and works with a lobbyist to keep abreast of legislation that directly and indirectly pertains to the practice of Landscape Architecture in the Commonwealth.

The 2025 Virginia General Assembly session has just begun.  The Government Affairs Committee is working with both our lobbyist and a committee of partner organizations in order to track legislation, and ensure that the needs of the field and our members are articulated to all legislators.
