Hi, my name is SuLin Kotowicz, and I’m a landscape architect in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am deeply honored to be before you today as a candidate for President Elect of ASLA. I never expected to be considered for President as a first-generation immigrant by adoption and naturalized citizen. It was a running joke in my family as I was growing up that neither I nor my brother, both adoptees from South Korea, would be eligible to be POTUS. I am grateful to the nominating committee and Executive Committee for their belief that I am not only eligible but exhibit the qualities they expect in ASLA’s next President-Elect. 35 years ago, ASLA elected its first woman president, Darwina Neal, and I welcome the opportunity to become ASLA s first woman of color President-Elect.
