The bdla has changed its membership fee regulations in order to attract new members. The focus is on employees in member offices, for whom "non-contributory" bdla membership is now possible.
In future, freelance bdla members will be able to integrate the bdla members in their team into their own membership fee at no extra cost ("office membership"). The employed members are thus exempt from paying membership fees.
The bdla thus offers employees in member offices an attractive membership option in the association.
The goal: More social power
In recent years, landscape architecture has become a much-noticed player in terms of solutions for key social tasks: Energy transition, green-blue infrastructure, climate adaptation in urban and rural areas and much more.
In order to make its ideas and expertise heard effectively, the bdla needs more members. They strengthen the association and its work for the concerns of the profession.
The new membership fee regulations offer a new generation in open space and landscape planning a low-threshold way to get involved.
