I agree. I think it is the duty of organizations like ASLA to be sure to put the right people in positions where they can be most effective in conveying the importance of LA or at least the benefits. Aside from congress, ASLA and other organizations could be doing a better job educating the general public as well such as what AIA has done for architecture. Things like getting LA mentioned somehow on the big screen may seem trivial to us now, but I think hitting the mainstream media as much as possible could do wonders for furthering the role of the profession in shaping patterns of development and design.
