Co-hosted by CLARB and ASLA, this event is designed to unite ASLA chapters and landscape architectural licensure boards from across the United States and Canada.

• Understanding the CLARB Uniform Standard and Messaging Workshop
• Multiple Routes, One Destination: Paving the Way for Inclusive Licensure 
• Navigating Legal Landscapes: Best Practices for Statutory and Regulatory Changes 

• Enhancing standards: Adoption and implementation of the CLARB Uniform Standard breaks down barriers to licensure. The Uniform Standard aims to make licensure more equitable and accessible, creating new opportunities for a diverse and inclusive community of professionals.
• Empowering stakeholders: By working together, ASLA Chapters and CLARB Member Boards can drive essential policy changes, like the Uniform Standard, that improve landscape architecture licensure.
• Educating others: Your participation is crucial in defending and shaping landscape architecture regulation for the future. Be a part of the conversation that will set the stage for a more inclusive, accessible and dynamic licensure system.

• Collaborative decision-making: Forge connections, share insights, and engage in meaningful discussions to collectively implement licensure policy changes.  
• Implementing change: Understand the CLARB Uniform Standard and strategize how to take these changes back to your state or province.    
• Networking and education: Build relationships with like-minded professionals and leaders passionate about advancing landscape architecture licensure.
