2019 Northern New England Conference Fast Approaching
The 2019 Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association (NNECAPA) Conference is now only a month away, taking place at the Omni Mount Washington from Nov. 13-15. This annual event brings together planners from Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire to network, learn from each other, and celebrate important planning documents and initiatives that have occurred in the past year.

This year's theme “Live, Work, Play & Plan – Exploring communities where having fun is part of the culture and the economy”, will lend itself to many informative sessions. Topics include work/life balance (presented in-part by SRPC senior planner James Burdin), a grassroots economic development initiative in the Moose Mountains region (presented in part by SRPC communications and outreach planner, Shayna Sylvia), planning for equity, and many other sessions.
