The work and programs by the Southeast Section of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Planning Association (APAPASE) aren’t possible without the support of our sponsors. We are releasing sponsorships now for organizations who prefer to take advantage of end of year giving, but are always happy to work with new sponsors.

We’ve adapted our sponsorship levels to respond to suggestions from sponsors. The sponsorship levels are laid out in our 2017 Sponsorship Package. If you would like to discuss a custom sponsorship, simply contact sponsorship@apapase.org to start the discussion.

For the ninth year, the American Planning Association of Southeast Pennsylvania (APAPASE) is launching a mentor program for professionals in the planning field and local city planning graduate students. The program will include students from the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University. This program has helped students to learn about the array of planning jobs in the real world, the day-to-day job duties of planners, and employment advice for planners on the job hunt.

If you are willing to mentor, please sign up here by Friday, September 30. Mentors agree to be available 2-3 times throughout the year to meet with their student on an informal basis and will have the opportunity to meet with their mentees at events sponsored by the APAPASE.
