November 4, 2014
Press
• In the third quarter, 270 stories
referenced the Society and 3,599
referenced landscape architecture. We
exceeded our annual goal with one more
quarter to go. Among the outlets…• Houston Chronicle, Architect Magazine, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Philadelphia
Inquirer, San Francisco Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News, Huffington Post,
Associated Press, Globe and Mail, Miami Herald, Engineering News-Record
(ENR), The Record (Hackensack, New Jersey), Chicago Tribune, Arizona
Republic, Washington Post, Houzz, Los Angeles Times, and The New York
Times..
Online
• Pageviews to www.asla.org are
essentially flat while visits to the site
increased 3 percent during the first nine
months of 2014 compared to the same
period in 2013. The good news: Unique
visitors jumped 17 percent to more than
800,000, and the share of new visits
versus returns was 54.7 percent.
Social Media
• In the third quarter, the ASLA Facebook
fan count increased from 38,093 to
45,693. Similarly, ASLA’s Twitter follower
count climbed from 35,000 to 36,700.
• Other platforms, with smaller numbers,
still managed to grow.
LAND e-News
• Total third-quarter distribution of LAND
averaged 27,581, a 7 percent gain over
the first three quarters of 2013. Erosion
of open rates, which has continued for
the past years, reversed this year, with a
member average of 31.2 percent
compared to just over 29 percent in the
first three quarter of 2013.
The Dirt
• In the three quarters of 2014, traffic to
The Dirt has fallen 10 percent in
comparison with the first three quarters
of 2013, but there have a been
approximately 5-10 percent fewer posts
as well. Total pageview count through the
first three quarters is 434,383.
National Television
• Despite strong efforts by staff and our
consultant, we have yet to get a story
about landscape architecture placed on
national television. We have established
contacts, though, and will continue to
push.

Latest - Professional Regulation
• After initial flurry 2008-2012, fewer new
threats emerging
However…
• Political forces still in place to generate
new threats• Anti-regulatory philosophy
• View that licensing hurts jobs & the economy
• Lack of understanding of landscape architecture
• Elections can bring new leaders looking to reduce
government and regulation
Latest Threats
• Indiana Jobs Creation Committee
• North Carolina government
streamlining initiative
• Michigan deregulation legislation
The Good News:
50 = 2014
The Good News
• ASLA has successfully opposed all
deregulation attempts during this wave of
activity
• Texas & Vermont confirmed the importance of
landscape architecture to the PHSW, thus
avoiding sunset
• Chapters continue to work to proactively
improve their licensure laws.
