Affiliate Membership

From Section 7.2 of the OALA Handbook – Membership Options:

Affiliate status in the Association is intended for persons who are interested in the profession of landscape architecture and have contributed to its study, appreciation, or practice. Affiliates of the Association are not permitted to use the designation “landscape architect”, nor are they eligible to hold office or serve on Council. Affiliates are eligible to serve on committees.

The OALA only has individual memberships thus the person rather than a firm becomes the affiliate member.

Affiliate member benefits include:

  • Receive OALA updates including newsletters and information on upcoming events
  • Be among the first to learn about sponsorship and advertising opportunities
  • Opportunity to list Lunch and Learns on the OALA Affiliate Member Lunch and Learn page
  • Listing of member name on the OALA website membership directory
