ASLA Oklahoma held their annual State Meeting last week at the historic Will Rogers Theatre in Oklahoma City. Cotleur & Hearing landscape architect, Nicole Plunkett, was invited to participate as one of five keynote speakers to a crowd of just over 100 attendees ranging from landscape architecture professionals, university professors, and students from Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma. While it’s no doubt that the field of landscape architecture varies greatly from state-to-state, Nicole spoke about the importance of coming together as a profession and educating K-12 students about landscape architecture. She also shared her endeavors and visions of Future Landscape Architects of America (FLAA) in an effort to move towards the goals of educating our youth and diversifying our profession.
