Million Dollar Club
LSD President and CEO Diane Simpson-Colebank was honored by Arizona Woman magazine as one of the members of its 2008 Million Dollar Club. The Club gives kudos to women whose companies earned at least $1 million in revenue in the past year. Diane was recognized in the Landscape Architecture/Environmental Planning/Garden Centers category in the $10-19 million range. Arizona Woman’s mission is “to inspire, connect, enrich and inform women who are passionate about business, community and life.”

National Park(ing) Day
LSD created a temporary mini-park in a metered parking space outside its main office at Third Street and Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe, Arizona on September 19 as part of National Park(ing) Day. This annual event, sponsored by the Trust for Public Land, celebrates parks by creating temporary parks in public parking spaces. LSD’s landscape architecture and environmental planning staff has planned and designed more than 4.5 million acres of parks and open space, making the firm among the foremost park and recreation planners in the West. The public and LSD staff enjoyed the mini-park, which featured native vegetation, a seating area, and live music. For more information, contact Greg Brown or Jackie Keller at 480-967-1343.
