“I am really enjoying my service on CLARB’s MBE Committee. CLARB values its volunteers, and gives them substantive issues to work on. I feel like the work we do is meaningful and I appreciate being able to give back to CLARB. Its also a great opportunity to get to know other MBES and learn more about how their programs operate.”

“I have so enjoyed my time on the CLARB MBE committee. It has been rare opportunity for an MBE to have a real impact on landscape architecture regulation, as the committee’s opinion and input in sought on a variety of CLARB matters. The CLARB culture is so inclusive that all opinions and experiences are welcomed and encouraged. I cannot think of a more thoughtful, innovative, and FUN team to be a part of!”
