Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Mission Statement:

This task force seeks to take action towards dismantling the hidden hand of structural and systemic racism within the field of landscape architecture at the local scale in particular, within our chapter, board and membership. Part of this work is to acknowledge that elitism and privilege in our profession is connected to racism and inequity. The operations of the task force are subject to the aspirations of the people involved.
