I want to announce that we are currently seeking to fill several UPC positions for the next academic year and invite all of you to consider applying for one of the available board positions. Many of these positions do not require a large time commitment. Terms begin July 1st and many of current officers will be around to help transition new officers into their roles. Attached to this email you'll find the board member application that includes a current list of all positions. The deadline to submit your application is Wednesday, May 2nd, by 5PM. The Urban Planning Coalition is a great way to connect with fellow students, alumni, and professionals in the field. This past year we've really boosted the profile of the UPC and established a number of new relationships with organizations like Oakland Pride and SPUR San Jose. We've also organized and collaborated on a number of activities and events including:
We do hope you'll consider serving on the board this upcoming year. If you have questions about what it's like serving in one of these roles, please don't hesitate to contact me or any of the current officers or at admin@theupc.org. Best Regards, ------ Johnasies McGraw |
