Dr. William Laidlaw
Executive Director, Ohio Historical Society
Once again, CMC will be the first to view and comment on the finalists for the Columbus Landmarks Foundation 2005/06 James B. Recchie Design Award. Named in memory of James Recchie, a noted Columbus attorney and a Landmark's founding trustee, the award celebrates his vision of a better Columbus through quality urban design.
With the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), Congress made the Federal Government a full partner and a leader in historic preservation. In the words of the Act, the Federal Government's role would be to "provide leadership" for preservation, "contribute to" and "give maximum encouragement" to preservation, and "foster conditions under which our modern society and our prehistoric and historic resources can exist in productive harmony."
In 1885 a group of Ohioans established the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, proclaiming in its charter the goal of preserving aspects of the state's past. These citizens realized that Ohio's numerous earthworks and significant ancient artifacts offered eloquent testimony about its prehistoric heritage. In addition, they wanted to document Ohio's contributions to the nation's growth and development.
As Executive Director of the Ohio Historical Society, Dr. William K. Laidlaw is leading the fight to preserve Ohio's historic treasures. He is a former academic administrator at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland with over 30 years experience leading non-profit organizations in management education.
Join Columbus Metropolitan Club, in partnership with The Columbus Landmarks Foundation, and Dr. William K. Laidlaw, Executive Director, Ohio Historical Society for an overview of the Historic Preservation Act's impact on Ohio over the last 40 years, as well as the unveiling of the Recchie Award finalists!
