CC/ASLA - The California Council of ASLA

The California Council of the American Society of Landscape Architects is an organization comprised of two members from each of the four California Chapters of ASLA: the San Diego, Southern California, Sierra, and Northern California Chapters. The two members from each Chapter are the Immediate Past Chapter President and the Chapter’s Delegate to the CC/ASLA Board of Directors.

The purpose of the Council is to advance the profession of Landscape Architecture at the State level in California as an instrument of services in public welfare and to serve as the coordinating Council in the State for the various Chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects regarding state licensure issues, legislative bills and sunset review of LATC.

In order to meet the CC/ASLA mandate regarding state issues, the Board of Directors of CC/ASLA has hired Terri Thomas of Thomas Advocacy, Inc., as its legislative advocate in Sacramento. The CC/ASLA Board has also hired Tracy Morgan Hollingworth, CAE as its Executive Manager. The Board holds monthly conference calls regarding its business.
