A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF APRIL 1927, 2003, AS NATIONAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO COMMEND THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS FOR CREATING THE SPECIAL PLACES IN WHICH WE LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY.
Whereas, the American Society of Landscape Architects, founded in 1899, is the association that represents the landscape architecture profession in the United States; and
Whereas, the society’s mission is to lead, educate, and participate in the careful stewardship, wise planning, and artful design of our cultural and natural environments; and
Whereas, headquartered in Washington, D.C., the American Society of Landscape Architects has grown from eleven original members in 1899 to almost twelve thousand members in fortysix chapters today. Of these members, approximately 80% are in private practice, 15% in local, state, or federal government practice, and 5% in academic practice; and
Whereas, members’ work reflects the variety and breadth of the profession, from the design of residential and commercial developments, office building sites, and public parks to public sector comprehensive planning, environmental planning, and town planning; and
Whereas, the American Society of Landscape Architects seeks to improve public understanding of the profession and to advance the practice of landscape architecture through education, communication, publications, online database services, professional interaction, and development. The American Society of Landscape Architects is the organization authorized to accredit programs of landscape architecture at United States colleges and universities; and
Whereas, the American Society of Landscape Architects also works to advance its ethic and public policies to state, local, and federal decision-making bodies, both directly and by working with a broad array of coalitions and organizations with similar goals. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, proclaim the week of April 1927, 2003, as National Landscape Architecture Week in South Carolina and commend the American Society of Landscape Architects for creating the special places in which we live, work, and play.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Jessica V. McClung of the South Carolina American Society of Landscape Architects.
