CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
CCAPA Communications Plan (PDF)
The CCAPA Executive Committee has adopted a chapter communications plan which is attached. We have articulated the image, style and objectives for CCAPA in the area of communications. We are now seeking volunteers to work on small teams to develop position papers on priority planning issues. You will find these issues in the attachment.
Mark Pellegrini, immediate and past president, is organizing the communications teams. If you are interested in volunteering to work on one of the priority issues, or any issue for that matter, please contact Mark by or 860-647-3043. If you would like to discuss these ideas with Mark before you commit to volunteering, please feel free to call him as well. Once volunteers have been assembled into teams, Mark will contact team members and provide the basic framework and formatting for the position papers.
This is a great opportunity for CCAPA members who have particular interest in a policy area to contribute to developing position papers which we can adopt for the chapter. These position papers will form the basis for such activities as testifying at the Legislature, participating or offering to participate on panels on specific topics, promoting our positions through the written media and our website.
Donald Poland, AICP
President, CCAPA
