ASLA Elects 40 Members to Prestigious Council of Fellows

Today, ASLA announced the elevation of 40 members as ASLA Fellows for their exceptional contributions to the landscape architecture profession and society at large. Election to the ASLA Council of Fellows is among the highest honors ASLA bestows on members and is based on their works, leadership/management, knowledge and service.

"Landscape architecture makes the world a better place, and ASLA Fellows represent the most accomplished and admired leaders in the entire field," said ASLA President SuLin Kotowicz, FASLA. "The professionals recognized in this year's class of ASLA Fellows have made consistent and exceptional contributions to resilience and sustainability, stronger and more beautiful communities, and human health, safety, and welfare. Congratulations to the 2024 class of ASLA Fellows!"

"Naming a new class of distinguished ASLA fellows is a reminder of how much landscape architects do to make our communities more connected, more enjoyable, and more resilient," said ASLA CEO Torey Carter-Conneen. "We extend our warmest thanks to the new class of ASLA Fellows for their exemplary work and accomplishments."
