Calling All Young Planners

Deadline THIS MONDAY, March 21

The Coalition for Smarter Growth is seeking the best and brightest young planners in the Washington D.C. region for its first annual Young Planner Showcase. Applications are due this Monday, March 21, so don’t miss out! This forum will offer young planners in the D.C. region the opportunity to present the most innovative ideas from their jurisdictions. The event will highlight the best and the brightest of our region’s young planners and foster a lively conversation among participants and the audience.

Any planner who meets the criteria listed on the Coalition for Smarter Growth website is welcome to apply. The Coalition for Smarter Growth will choose up to six presenters for the forum. Planners that live in and are doing plans in any towns or cities in the following jurisdictions are invited to apply: District of Columbia, Alexandria, and Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William, Fairfax, Prince George’s, and Montgomery Counties.

The deadline for applications is March 21, 2011. Planners must be 35 years of age or younger to apply and be employed by, or a contractor for, an agency or organization located within the jurisdictions listed above. To help us better prepare, please email laura@smartergrowth.net if you are planning on applying. Don’t worry – it’s not binding!

In addition, we are in the processing of applying for APA continuing education credits for this event.

More information, including requirements for application submissions, is available on the Coalition for Smarter Growth website: www.smartergrowth.net.
