We're headed west for the 2017 Massachusetts Association of Planning Directors Annual Conference! We will host this year's conference in Pittsfield at the Crowne Plaza. The Conference Committee has shaken up the programming this year! In addition to a keynote address from the Mayor of Pittsfield, Linda Tyer, we have not two but THREE concurrent sessions in four time blocks, a tour and reception at the Colonial Theater, and three plenary sessions. Please check out the MAPD website for more details.
And if that wasn't enough excitement, we invited New York State planners in the Capital District to join us for this conference. We look forward to networking with our New York counterparts!
We had an incredible response to the call for session proposals this year and are excited to include the following topics:
- Recovering Planners - Planning Directors moving into Town/City Management roles
- Municipal Perspectives on Complete Streets
- Broadband access and economic development
- Community Engagement and Outreach
- Assessing Impacts of Residential Development
- Greening Your Community
- and MORE!
