2025 ASLA Iowa Partnership Program

PARTNERSHIP PACKAGE

TO OUR VALUED PARTNERS

Dear Valued Partner,

The Iowa Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is excited to announce our 2025 Partnership Program. As a valued partner in previous years, we would like to extend the opportunity to support Iowa ASLA members and events once again.

Our 2025 Partnership Program allows for sponsorship of chapter events with a single registration. Your continued support helps Iowa ASLA advance its mission of promoting the practice of Landscape Architecture to our nearly 130 professional members and 60 student members from across the state.

Through your partnership, you’ll have the unique opportunity to connect with Iowa’s landscape architecture professionals from public and private sectors, representing firms and organizations across the state. This partnership provides visibility for your company, allowing you to showcase new products and services, while also demonstrating your commitment to our members and the profession of Landscape Architecture.

Many of you supported us during last year’s ASLA Central States Conference in Des Moines, and we are deeply grateful for your involvement in making that event such a success. Looking ahead, we are excited to bring back our annual Spring Conference in Ames, Iowa, in collaboration with Iowa State University’s Landscape Architecture Department. We will also continue our Fall Awards Event, which includes an awards celebration, dinner, keynote speaker, and vendor booths.

This year, we’ve made a few adjustments to our sponsorship packages based on feedback from our long-term partners. We’ve added more flexibility through new á la carte options, allowing you to sponsor specific events of interest. Sponsorships are a first come basis, so we encourasge you all to sign up to secure your place.

As sponsorships are purchased, we will update our online registration system to reflect the current availability of packages. After registering, a member of our board will reach out to you with details on next steps. Each event will have a dedicated planning committee to collaborate with you as the event approaches.

On behalf of the Iowa Executive Committee, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the many exciting events planned for 2025!

Best Regards,

Garret Munch, PLA, ASLA President, Iowa ASLA
