2024 DEI Survey for Landscape Architects and Designers
The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) invites landscape architecture professionals to complete our 2024 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Survey for Landscape Architects and Designers.
The survey will help LAF and allied organizations identify areas of opportunity to continue supporting the landscape architecture profession in becoming more equitable and inclusive. The survey follows up on a 2019 effort in which LAF conducted the first discipline-wide individual and organizational surveys addressing DEI issues. This new survey will allow us to compare results to understand where progress has been made and where there is still need.
As the expert on your own experiences, LAF wants to hear from you! Participation is voluntary and all responses will be anonymous. Note that this survey is for individuals who are landscape architecture professionals, not students or educators. (If you are not a trained landscape architect by experience or education, please do not complete the survey.)
The survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. LAF hopes to learn whether you feel supported, represented, and included in your workplace and how inclusive you find your workplace and the profession overall to be. LAF is also interested in what resources you think might be helpful to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in your workplace and in the profession as a whole.
The survey closes November 22. --> Extended to Dec 6!
In addition to this survey of individuals, LAF will conduct a separate DEI survey of firms/organizations. If you are in a leadership role and interested in participating on behalf of your firm/organization, please reach out to Rachel Booher at rbooher [at] lafoundation.org (rbooher[at]lafoundation[dot]org).
Next year, LAF will publish an executive summary with the results and insights from the surveys. The findings will help to inform LAF’s programs and future initiatives. LAF will also share the data with other landscape architecture capacity organizations to support continued collaboration around these important issues.
