Equity and Inclusive Planning
The chapter is working on improving opportunities for professional development addressing inequities in our communities and practicing more inclusive planning.
In early 2018, a group of planners traveled to Appleton for a workshop offered by the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE). The Spring-Summer issue of our newsletter featured a story about this experience and what we learned.
This fall, the conference theme, "Growing Inclusive Communities," will continue conversations begun at the 2017 conference and the GARE workshop. At the same time, the chapter is also cognizant of the need to grow a more inclusive planning workforce.
In the coming months, this page of the website will feature additional resources for planners on growing inclusive communities and a more inclusive profession.
