As ASLA gears up public relations in 2012 and beyond this resource is meant to serve as a starting point for discussions among chapters for ideas that have worked, did not work, or you simply dare to dream especially as we look onward to NLAM and the Public Awareness Summit this summer.
Why Use Public Relations?
- It provides unbiased coverage (3rd party endorsement by the media)
- Viewed as more credible by the general public
- Less expensive than advertising

So here’s to learning as much as we can while making PR happen! If we don’t make the public aware of the great work of landscape architects; no one benefits.
