FROM THE CHAPTER PRESIDENT
Francesca Corra, APLD
Welcome to a New Year and a New Decade!
Yes, it’s me again. Can you believe that I raised more money than any other candidate to get myself reelected for a third year as your President? And can you believe that I have successfully squashed every attempted coup against me?
OK…so neither of these is even remotely true. The truth is that we need people to step up and get involved in the leadership of APLD. I promise you…it is one of the best things you can do for yourself as a business owner. Please consider joining either the CA board or your district board.
Advocating for the profession of Landscape Design and our right to practice is one of the most important things we do. These are our businesses, our livelihoods. We all have to be proactive. If you have not already renewed your membership, please do so. There is strength in numbers and we are an incredible community.
Your districts have been busy lining up amazing programming for this coming year. Start by coming to one event if you have not already. Allow yourself to receive the gift of coaching, wisdom, strategy, resources and friendships in APLD. Speaking of resources….I am proud to introduce this issue of California Landscape Design dedicated to California Native Plants. Prepare to be inspired and go native!
My wish is for 2020 to be an epic year for all of us. There has never been a better time than right now, the beginning of a new decade, for each of us to attain the abundance we deserve!
