The National American Planning Association (APA) Conference is Planning’s primary continuing education for keeping current with planning trends. This year’s conference will be held in New York City, May 6 – 9 and looks to be one of the largest annual conferences in years with an outstanding program.
Each year the PDS budget includes funds for professional development opportunities for staff and commissioners. Historically, one or two Planning Commissioners have attended the National Planning Conference along with staff.
Patrick Kelly, the current Planning Commission Chair, has expressed interest in attending the conference this year. His term extends until May 2019. The City’s Travel Policy requires travel for elected officials and appointed commission members to be submitted to the City Commission for approval. |
