Landscape Institute CEO steps down
Sue Morgan is stepping down as CEO of the Landscape Institute after two years in the role.
Morgan joined the Landscape Institute (LI) in July 2021 from the Design Council as interim CEO, bringing more than 20 years’ experience in the built and natural environment. She has returned to multidisciplinary consultancy firm Around the Block as director.
Sue Morgan says: “As a greenspace and built environment professional that is passionate about place and tackling the climate crisis, my time at the LI has been exciting and fulfilling. I have been very lucky to have worked with such a dedicated and committed LI staff team and privileged to have worked alongside the excellent Board and Advisory Council, who have offered me insight and support.
“I am now keen to continue my work in helping to deliver education and skills for a new and diverse generation, long- term stewardship for green infrastructure, and new finance models.”
During Morgan’s tenure at the LI she has overseen the delivery and development of a varied portfolio of project and programs, including spearheading delegations at national and international conferences, granting the LI an authoritative position among upper echelon investors, developers and government agencies.
Morgan has also been credited with strengthening the LI’s internal expertise and sectorial knowledge through persistent emphasis on membership, education and communications at recruitment and investment level.
Immediate past president Jane Findlay says: “We are sad to see Sue leave the LI. Over the past two years she has brought a special level of experience and expertise to our institution at a time when the work of our members has never been more relevant to the global challenges, we all face.
“We know how passionate Sue is about these issues and we look forward to seeing her bring her energy and insight to new endeavours in this ever more important context. We wish her well for the future.”
