I’ve been lucky to find my perfect job. l always had the founding principles, passed down by Robert Redford, to guide me.
Putnam added, “Cooper’s contributions are immeasurably large and he will be missed in this role...but then again, he will be right down the hall in this new capacity. He’ll lend his vision and experience to key projects, as we build towards our 40th anniversary celebration and look ahead to the coming decades of supporting independent creativity.”
