members review plans at a recent construction site tour

Our Chapter is focused on bringing design-oriented programs to our members in numerous ways to help them develop their professional skills. We're pleased to offer the following unique events:

Designer to Designer Events:
This is our new core program that meets every other month. Each D2D program will feature either a design review format
or a topical format with areas of interest for discussion.

Construction Site Tours:
We visit landscape installations that are in progress, to discuss the details of construction and learn firsthand from the designers and the contractors how things are built and how to problem-solve on site as needed.

To further our mission of providing our members with design forums tailored to their needs, we will also continue to seek out and offer high-end design programs annually, as possible.

APLD Oregon "DESIGNER TO DESIGNER" Programs:

The intent behind these gatherings is to allow our members to learn from one another in a casual, intimate setting. The meeting times & dates will also vary depending on what the attending members want. D2D meetings will be held approximately every other month.

MEETING FORMATS:
Design Review:
This is an opportunity to share design triumphs and troubles with other designers. Bring pictures and/or drawings of projects you’ve done or bring along a current challenge and ask for other perspectives. It’s a relaxed time to talk shop with other designers.

Topical:
Our goal is to tailor these meetings to those who attend. With this in mind, our 2012 topics will come from suggestions gathered at the first few meetings. We will announce the topic ahead of time and encourage everyone to join in he discussion with their thoughts, ideas, and questions.
