Citizen Planner Needed for APA PA SE Section Council Position

January 7, 2021 / / Comments Off on Citizen Planner Needed for APA PA SE Section Council Position

APA PA SE is looking to fill a recently vacated Citizen Planner position. According to Section bylaws a Citizen Planner is defined as:

“Any appointed or elected official who is involved in planning decisions for the betterment of a state, region, county, city or municipality; who is individual who has an interest in furthering the purposes of Association, but who is not a Professional Planner (for example, planning commissioner, planning official, zoning board  member, Philadelphia RCO zoning representative, or similar). This will be congruent with the Chapter definition for Planning Commissioner/Planning Official.”

Attendance at virtual, bi-monthly Section Council meetings held at 5:30 PM on the second Thursday of every other month is required. Please send names of interested candidates to chair@apapase.org.

Play a Part in Expanding Planning Knowledge

You have an individual outlook, and we want to give you the platform to share it with the planning community. Accelerate critical solutions through a session proposal exploring the issues impacting the planning practice. This year is a unique opportunity to conduct a session encouraging planners to lead through the application of planning interventions, new skills, and practices to enact effective and inclusive, long-lasting change.

The 2021 National Planning Conference will gather progressive leaders to explore critical issues facing the future of the planning profession and the communities we serve. We consider it crucial to include diverse participation and perspectives through the NPC21 program.

We look to offer unique insights, as well as innovative and practical approaches that enable the planning community to anticipate and successfully adapt to the needs of today’s rapidly changing world. This includes raising awareness and advancing methods to overcome racism and solutions to create inclusive and equitable communities.

NPC21 will be fully digital, May 5–7, 2021. Due to the ongoing pandemic and COVID-19 public gathering restrictions currently in place in Boston, NPC21 will take place as a virtual event.
