A portion of all annual sponsorships goes to higher educational institutions in Nevada to help educate future landscape architects. NEW PROFESSIONAL TITLE ACRONYM BY: NEVADA STATE BOARD OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE As a registered landscape architect, the use of an acronym after your name is common place. Currently the popular one used is R.L.A. (Registered Landscape Architect) or ASLA (American Society of Landscape Architecture). Both are considered acceptable to the board in accordance with the bylaws. However, ASLA during the past three years has been pursuing the profession to adopt a difference reference instead of ASLA; as it references the organization. ASLA has made it a goal to see the profession more in line with other professions such as engineers that all use P.E. (Professional Engineer) or P.L.S. (Professional Land Surveyor) to establish consistency and recognition of the profession across the US. ASLA in 2011 approved t h e a c r o n y m P. L . A (Professional Landscape Architect) and is encouraging the profession continued on page 3 PLAN TO ATTEND THE JANUARY LUNCHEON!

Well, the Executive Committee is listening and working hard to continually provide more member benefits to our chapter. This year, in an effort to support our members and our chapter involvement, we will be reimbursing one member’s chapter and national dues next year, based on participation with NVASLA throughout 2015. If you are not a member, we still want to see you! You will be eligible to win one ticket to the 2015 Pink Flamingo banquet. For every NVASLA supported event a member/ non-member attends throughout the year, it will be noted. Events include everything from monthly luncheons and other chapter events to volunteering on behalf of NVASLA and outreach to UNLV. 2 To participate, just sign in or sign up if you are attending an event. If you are volunteering at our request, we will keep track. At the end of the year, the Executive Committee will tally the participation and announce the winner. If there is a tie, those members’/non-members’ names will be put in a hat and a winning name for each category will be drawn. We look forward to continually bringing new ideas to the chapter and hope to see you at many NVASLA events throughout the year. Without the support of members the Nevada Chapter of ASLA would not be as strong as it is.

Being NAC 623A does not recognize the P.L.A. Acronym, the Nevada State Board of Landscape Architecture (NSBLA) in preparation of this, wrote proposed changes to NAC 623A in 2011 to address this. In accordance with our bylaw processes, our board submitted the proposed changes to the legislature staff, held public meetings and was approved before the legislative session ended in May. At the NSBLA board meeting this past June, we formally adopted Nevada registered landscape architects can use P.L.A. after their name. You can use either R.L.A. ASLA, or P.L.A., however, in the spirit of ASLA’s goal, we encourage you to use P.L.A. Retired or Retiring Soon? The board this past year completed the legislative and public input processes to add language to NAC 623A that now allows those who are retired or soon to retire to use the title “Landscape Architect Emeritus”. You no longer have to maintain active registration status when not practicing Landscape Architecture. There are conditions for approval to this registration level. You can find out more by emailing the board or visiting the board’s website at www.nsbla.nv. gov. 3 Scharetg Pictures US Patent D710,625 S; other patent pending. Spending lunch in Camelot since 1962.

Bonneville Avenue, Suite 200 Las Vegas, NV 89101 December 10, 2014 To: From: Erin Reiswerg, President, NVASLA and the members of NVASLA Mauricia Baca, Executive Director, Outside Las Vegas Foundation The Outside Las Vegas Foundation was so pleased to receive the Award of Honor from the Nevada Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects on December 6, 2014. Our organization is deeply humbled to be recognized as an organization outside the landscape architecture profession that has provided notable contributions in conservation of natural resources and/or public landscapes within Nevada. Indeed, OLVF has been truly privileged to work alongside the group of professionals involved in landscape architecture as we work together to strengthen and beautify our community. It is the mission of the Outside Las Vegas Foundation to connect people to the special outdoor places in Southern Nevada. This supports our vision of a community that enjoys, values and protects our special outdoor places. As noted at the event, the Outside Las Vegas Foundation has worked for many years with the jurisdictions and agencies involved in developing our growing open space and trail system. In the past five years, our organization has developed programs to directly connect people to these resources. OLVF now leads education and volunteer programs. Among these efforts is a field trip micro-grant program that has connected almost 5000 young people and families to Southern Nevada’s special outdoor places. OLVF also spearheads volunteer efforts through Adopt-A-Trail programs with the City of Las Vegas and Clark County. Begun in 2011, this program has involved thousands of residents and visitors in volunteer efforts on local trails. The program expects to achieve a total of 10,000 volunteer hours by the close of 2015. The great outdoor recreation opportunities available in Nevada are now celebrated through the annual Get Outdoors Nevada Day celebration organized by OLVF. On October 25, 2014 at Craig Ranch Regional Park (hosted by City of North Las Vegas), almost 2000 people joined together to celebrate what Nevada has to offer. NVASLA joined us with a booth at the event, and we hope to see you there again on October 24, 2014 at Sunset Park (hosted by Clark County). OLVF invites the members of NVASLA to learn more about our programs, and to join us out on a trail or in a park as volunteers! For more information, NVASLA members can go to www.outsidelasvegas.org. Again, thank you so much for the Award of Honor. It is truly and deeply appreciated by our organization. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. I can be reach at 702-997-3350 or [email protected]. Sincerely, Mauricia M.M.

Many people are happy with the way the past year went while others refuse to have the same year twice. Many accomplished so much during the year while others fail to miss the mark. But hope rises from the ashes as the clock strikes midnight on that faithful night of New Years Eve. The peace of mind of a clean slate makes all of us hopeful to be able to mold the perfect year. While others request for a peaceful year, some request for a year of change and promise to make a list of resolutions and stick to it. I have never been one for resolutions, or coming up with resolutions. I decided to give it a go one year and failed after the first month. This year is different...it is my BIG quarter century on this earth. That’s right, I’m turning 25 this year. I believe this will be the last year that I will be able to say my age and not be embarassed of it. While this is a big age for anyone, I want to strive to make my big year have many landscape architecture achievements. One dream that I feel I need to get a jump on has been a dream since I first started in the Landscape Architecture program and that is to own and operate a small cactus farm. While many think that it is foolish, and think that the wait time of five years to be a fully functioning business is ridiculous, I feel that patience is a virtue and something magical will grow from it, pun intended. If I want to see this dream be fulfilled, I need to start now so that by my BIG 30th birthday (which I probably will say is my 25th), I will have a fully running cactus farm. I am pretty new at this field, so definitely will be needing help! If anyone wants to give some helpful tips or just some advise, let me know! My future cacti and I will be thankful for the help! Simply message me at [email protected]! I need all the help I could get. To 2015, may it be a year of growth and positivity.

As for me, I’m writing this message right before my 2014 birthday (which also happens to be engulfed by the holidays and close to the end of the year). So am I the ghost of past, present or future? I guess you can decide. As for me, I’m not sure about the wiser part, but I’m definitely going to be another year older. I’m not worried though because I’ve still got my quirky attitude and warped sense of humor. Whether or not you are excited about it, our chapter is growing a year older too. I’m guessing that most of you may not know that Nevada formed its first section as part of the Southern California Chapter in 1990, and if you did than you’ve either been around a while or have actually read the NVASLA website. Regardless, that means Nevada membership has been active in ASLA for 25 years! Since then we have gone onto becoming our own state chapter and have added a northern section. I think we’ve also had a few name and logo changes along the way. So go ahead and pat yourself on the back because you deserve some kudos! We all know that growth, or lack thereof, brings change and our chapter has had it fair share of fluctuations. I hope we can say that the unwelcome changes from the recent recession are starting to subside. 2015 should bring its share of changes and opportunities your way. If you are still putting together your resolutions for the year, why not think about helping out with NVASLA. It can be as small as filling out a survey to as large as heading the art event committee. I would love for some old faces to come back (WE MISS YOU!) and I welcome all fresh new ones. Our chapter is dependent on new or renewed participation to create and improve our events. You can even send me an email with suggestions and ideas at president@ nvasla.com. With that you will see in this edition, as well as upcoming newsletters, opportunities to volunteer, contests to participate in, and events to attend. Be on the lookout for some new changes coming your way. WANT TO BE MORE INVOLVED IN NVASLA?
