We are excited to invite you to join us for a delightful evening of networking and camaraderie at our upcoming Happy Hour following the UNL Hyde Lecture Series with Michael Grove.
For this lecture, Grove expounds the virtues of working with a global lens and perspective. Historically, landscape architecture has suffered from a predominantly parochial viewpoint. While a hyper-local perspective is critical, it is equally important to recognize that societal issues are interrelated, interdependent and international.
Join CRS and NDC ASLA for the Nebraska Section Happy Hour!
Join NDC ASLA Platinum Partner Commercial Recreation Specialists and Scenic Shelters in person or virtually on Thursday, Nov. 2nd from 11:30am - 12:30pm for a Simplified Place Creation Lunch & Learn.
People to People. People to Places. People to Resources. People to Ideas. People to Nature. People to Art. People to People. Cultivating connections is often our role as landscape architects and design professionals. Making a connection and then developing and growing that connection is often circular, starting with connecting people to people and ending with the same. Constant cultivation is what grows and builds these connections and that takes an investment, not only in our people, but in the places surrounding and nurturing them. Join us in Omaha as we explore not only the connections, but the investment this community has put forth in cultivating existing and future connections.
