During G. Glenn Oder's 10 years as a highly respected and accomplished member of the Virginia General Assembly, and, more recently, as the executive director for the state stewardship and management of the Fort Monroe historic site, Oder has led many initiatives to improve communities and steward resources across the Commonwealth. A highly visible landscape architect and public policy leader, he has advanced state and local programs that reflect the values and policies of the profession. As the sole landscape architect during his tenure in the Virginia General Assembly, he is viewed by the Virginia ASLA chapter and the greater landscape architecture community as one of the most important people in expanding and protecting the scope of practice and elevating the profession's regulatory status.
