ASLA HONORS
David Lycke, ASLA was nominated by the South Carolina Chapter in the Leadership/Management Category. For more than 21 years, he has been a driving force behind programs that engage and educate the public, mentor emerging professionals, and implement strategic ASLA planning.
His leadership has been crucial as the national ASLA and chapters work together to move forward in critical areas such as leadership training and member recruitment. In 2000, he led the creation of the Chapter Initiates Program, still in operation, which provided ASLA grants directly to the local chapters for special initiatives. Most recently, on the Finance Committee, he has helped keep the ASLA on course in the face of a debilitating recession. He received his BS in botany from Clemson University and MLA from North Carolina State University.
