Strategic Plan Legislative Committee’s Strategic Plan

The APA-NC Legislative Committee collected input at the fall 2023 APA-NC conference regarding adjustments to its 2020 Strategic Plan. Thank you to all the folks who have provided input and suggestions! The Committee has updated the Plan for 2023/2024 with a new set of tasks and a work program focused on more detailed reporting and a new process for interfacing with the APANC Executive Committee as a part of advocacy activity. The 2024 Legislative Session will get underway starting on January 17th and the Legislative Committee will be starting our twice-monthly calls shortly thereafter. As always, details about monthly calls will be posted on the Planners Listserv.

Legislative Committee Vision Statement

The APA-NC Legislative Committee will inform and equip North Carolina planners to better participate in the legislative process and build lasting relationships with strategic partners and the General Assembly in pursuit of beneficial planning legislation.  We will serve as an objective source of information on the anticipated impacts of proposed legislation, and will raise awareness of the value of planning in North Carolina communities.  We will provide assistance to planners and local governments in adapting to changes in planning-related legislation.
