09/05/12 - Earlier this year National ASLA adopted a policy to encourage registered landscape architects to use the designation "PLA", Professional Landscape Architect. You can read more about that policy here. The Arizona Chapter leadership is in communication with the Arizona Technical Board of Registration to understand the implications of this policy in our state. Please stay tuned as we continue to investigate this issue.

CLARB

CLARB manages a professional certification program, through which landscape architects can document and verify their education, experience, examination and licensure history, thereby streamlining the licensure and reciprocal registration processes.
