Registration for the 2021 North Carolina Planning Conference is now open! The APA-NC Executive Committee, along with the Conference Planning Committee, decided that the Conference will be virtual. This decision was based in response to rising COVID cases, largely due to the Delta variant. We are looking forward to presenting the Chapter's conference: EQUITY: RECOGNITION & RESET in this format and providing compelling sessions to all attendees.

 We ask that if you previously booked a hotel room for the hybrid conference format, to contact the Durham Marriott City Center directly to cancel your reservation.

For the latest details on the conference, be sure to visit our website 2021 NC Planning Conference or look out for our latest e-blasts.

APA-NC was excited to announce that the Fall 2021 Edition of the APA-NC Quarterly Newsletter was recently sent out. Each newsletter contains planning information from around the state, the latest news from APA and AICP,  member updates, and much more! Be sure to check out our newest features including the "Legislative Corner" and the "APA-NC Committee Spotlight" in each edition. 

If you have an interest in helping the chapter with our social media presence and our quarterly newsletter, please contact our Communications Committee Co-Chairs Paul Black and Jennifer Ganser. The Committee always needs new members and people to help with various social media platforms. In the email, indicate if you have a specific interest and how you are willing to help out the chapter.
