For he's a jolly good...

Well, we knew that! Marq Truscott, principal and president at Quadriga’s Sacramento office is not just a ‘jolly good fellow’ he’s an ASLA Fellow!

So what’s a ‘Fellow’?
Each year, The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) sifts through hundreds of nominations and selects several dozen outstanding Landscape Architects from across the Country to be inducted to the Council of Fellows. Fellowship is among the highest of honors the ASLA bestows on members and is conferred upon individuals in recognition of exceptional accomplishments over a sustained period of time. Members of the Council of Fellows may use the suffix “FASLA” to denote this high honor. Marq is among an esteemed group of 40 new Fellows that will be recognized at the 2011 ASLA Annual Meeting & EXPO, later this month in San Diego.

Marq was nominated by the ASLA Sierra Chapter for service to the profession. Marq has contributed tirelessly and effectively not only to his profession but to the larger Sacramento community. He is a volunteer leader with the Sacramento Theater Company, Urban Land Institute, UC Davis and the California Center for Urban Horticulture, and has donated design services to the cities of Sacramento and Roseville. He has spearheaded numerous community design initiatives and, in those capacities, educated key decision makers on the value of landscape architecture and its impacts on successful community building. He has contributed expert insight to students, emerging professionals, and colleagues. With his presidency of the local and State chapters - three terms in each position since 1995 - his ASLA leadership record of service is unparalleled.

Congratulations to Marq!
