Hello ANLD Members,
Come join us for the reboot of ANLD 2.0 with a retreat-style gathering—a few focused hours to thoughtfully discuss our mission, structure, and priorities. This will be a collaborative conversation, and your voice is important.
Food and drinks are available but will not be provided by ANLD at this event.
This week, please consider the topics below and come prepared to share your thoughts.

Current ANLD Mission Statement
Please review the mission below and consider whether it still reflects what you want ANLD to be:
- Cultivate business relationships through networking.
- Provide opportunities to build member knowledge and expertise through educational programming.
- Support beginning landscape designers in their transition from school to the workplace.
- Provide our members with opportunities for public promotion.
Ask yourself: What do you want this organization to be? What is needed to make that happen?
