Rodney Mercer's support for the profession includes significant participation in national and chapter programs. His long-time contributions as national staff landscape architect, in addition to his chapter leadership, are particularly noteworthy. He led the multidisciplinary consultant team that prepared the Memorials and Museums master plan for the National Capital Planning Commission and thus ensured that future memorial sites will complement the L'Enfant, McMillan, and Legacy plans for D.C.
