APA PA SE has supported the Future City competition for 2019 at the Sponsor Level, sponsoring an award for Planning Excellence.
The chapter had a booth at Future City’s October 13th event, presenting information on climate change and sea-level rise, focused on the event’s theme of building a resilient power grid.
It’s not too late to support planning in 2019 by sponsoring APA PA SE!
The work and programs by the Southeast Section of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Planning Association aren’t possible without the support of our sponsors.
The sponsorship levels are laid out in our 2019 Sponsorship Package. If you would like to discuss a custom sponsorship, simply contact sponsorship@apapase.org to start the discussion.
