The 2021 North Carolina Virtual Planning Conference is underway and it's not too late to register!  All of our speakers have done an amazing job presenting sessions that have drawn inspiration from this year's conference theme - Equity: Recognition & Reset. We currently have over 37 concurrent sessions, quick talks, and workshops along with our always popular ethics session and legislative & legal session! Hear from both APA President Leo R. Asuncion, Jr., AICP and AICP President Michell J. Silver, FAICP, in two separate dynamic sessions.  Be sure to submit all of the qualifying sessions you participate in for CM Credits. 

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.
