Congratulations to Brianna Eassa and Aaron Lehman on Their New Professional Certifications

EDR congratulates Brianna Eassa, AICP, Community Planner, and Aaron Lehman, RLA, Landscape Designer, on successfully obtaining accreditations in their respective service areas. 

 Brianna Eassa earned her American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) Certification from the American Planning Association. The AICP designation demonstrates competence and integrity among planners, requiring a broad knowledge of planning principles and practices, continuing education in the latest tools, trends, laws, and ethics, a commitment to enriching the profession through education and innovation, and adherence to a strict code of ethics. 

 Eassa has over five years of experience in land revitalization and planning, grant development, community outreach, report writing, and conservation education. As a Planner, Eassa supports EDR’s Community Planning practice through research, writing, mapping, geographic information systems (GIS) analysis, land use analysis, zoning regulations analysis, municipal code analysis, presentations, and site visits. She works with a team of engineers, environmental professionals, and landscape architects. 

 Aaron Lehman received his Registered Landscape Architect (RLA) credential by passing the Landscape Architect Registration Examination, administered by the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards. The exam covers topics including project and construction administration, site analysis, design, and grading. 

 Lehman has over 14 years of experience in community planning, design, and nonprofit management. He acts as a conduit between planning and landscape architecture, sharing his knowledge of construction in the transportation field, and assisting communities seeking grants to improve their environments. Lehman develops site designs, produces construction drawings, reports, calculations, and technical specifications, and contributes to teams that include landscape architects, engineers, environmental scientists, planners, GIS analysts, and graphic artists. He provides innovative, aesthetic, cost-effective, and practical solutions for projects while maintaining expertise in state-of-the-art landscape architecture.
