The Current State of Planning: Navigating New Roles and Careers Symposium
Join us at this all
day event that will include speakers, networking opportunities, and a
job expo. Lunch and refreshments included.
OVERVIEW
The planning field is dynamically changing in light of the current
economic downturn. Cities around California are dealing with severely
constricted budgets and need to think creatively about how to maintain
operations in light of the economic shift. Additionally new federal
and state mandates are dictating the way planning ought to happen in our
communities. Given the challenges, planners must actively think about
where new opportunities exist.
In this symposium, hosted by the
Urban Planning Coalition and the APA California-Northern Section Young
Planners Group, we will address what lies in the future for planning and
discuss where planners should now seek opportunities to hone their
skills and better position themselves for new and emerging careers in
the planning profession. The symposium will feature a series of
interactive panel discussions by knowledgeable planning professionals
and a small job expo where participants can network with Bay Area
planning and design firms.
