Sponsor

The parent organization, Lambda Alpha International includes chapters in the U.S. and Canada and members in many countries abroad. It is an honorary, non- political professional society, founded in 1930, whose members are chosen for their accomplishments and leadership in land economics and related fields. They encourage scholarship and integrity in all fields of endeavor.

The letters Lambda and Alpha are used to represent the Greek words logos - from which we derived the word logic -- and ag-roikos - from agros, a portion of land, from which we have derived the word agriculture.Logos agroikos means "applying wisdom to matters of land."

Lambda Alpha International supports those ideals which contribute to the enrichment of the urban and rural environment and benefit the quality of life. The society advances the need for a close-working bond and mutual understanding among people engaged in all disciplines and activities related to land economics.
