A Sad Loss for NY Upstate ASLA, Remembering Dick Powell

It is with sad hearts that we share the passing of our own Richard (Dick) Powell, FASLA, September 21, 1944 - April 11, 2022. As a tribute to Dick's boundless contribution to both our Chapter and National ASLA, the NY Upstate Chapter would like to announce that the coming 2023 Student Scholarships will be made in Dick's name, and invite you to honor Dick's legacy and passion for student growth and development through your donation to the Scholarship Fund.
