Laurence Cotton, speaker

June 2014 saw the nationwide premiere of a long-awaited PBS film project, Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America. Writer, historian and filmmaker Laurence Cotton originated the Olmsted film and served as principal researcher and consulting producer. Cotton relocated to Oregon in 1994 to serve as Executive Director of the World Affairs Council of Oregon. He served on committees that planned legacy projects for the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial, played a role in launching the restoration efforts for Vista House and served as a consultant to the Confluence Project, a series of environmentally and culturally sensitive landscape installations designed by Maya Lin along the Columbia and Snake rivers.
