The APLD Virtual Chapter's goal for Group Mentoring is to provide emerging professional, professional and student members with information to help them become better designers and better businesspeople.
Topics will be centered on the APLD Core Competency of Professional Business Practices. Members are welcome to join individual meetings or to sign up for a full “semester”. Each meeting will count as 1 hour of APLD CEU.
The sessions will be led by experienced professionals both in and outside of the design field. Rachel Gioannini is heading up the program—she's an experienced landscape designer and educator, as well as an Assistant Professor at New Mexico State University.
Classes will take place on Zoom, with Q&A after each session.

RECORDINGS—We will NOT be recording these sessions. The goal is to build community and to engage as a community through interaction. Therefore, these are LIVE sessions. We can't wait to learn and grow together!
SPACE IS LIMITED—do not procrastinate! We are excited to have all landscape designers learn about topics not covered in Design School, including business and professional topics that will enhance our practices.
