Planning Committee - 2006 Southern New England Planning Conference

The Planning Committee for the fall regional conference is charged with creating the program and managing the logistics for this annual membership educational event. The program rotates through the three host chapter/states - Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island - on a regular annual basis.

The 2006 conference will be held in New Connecticut at the "Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale" on September 28th and 29th. The Connecticut Chapter will serve as host.

The conference is open to all APA members, allied professionals, planning commissioners, degree students majoring in planning or related areas, and interested members of the public.

The annual conference provides an opportunity for APA members to further their own professional development while accumulating credits certified for APA's Continuing Professional Development Program (CPDP)
