Welcome Midwest Planners to the Upper Midwest Planners Conference2013 Planning Awards Program - Nominations Open!The Annual APA-Minnesota Chapter Planning Awards are an exciting opportunity to give credit to outstanding projects and people that have contributed to the planning profession. The awards will be given at the APA-MN Annual Planning Conference on September 18-20, 2013. Winners will be notified ahead of time and asked to attend to accept their award. On behalf of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA MN), we are pleased to host this year's Upper Midwest Planners Conference in Rochester, MN. This year's conference will take place on September 18 - 20, 2013 at the Rochester Civic Center. Hotel accommodations can be made at the Kahler Grand Hotel, Double Tree, or the Hilton Garden Inn. As part of our conference planning efforts, we are excited about the opportunity to work with our neighboring chapters to offer a conference program that highlights planning efforts throughout the Midwest. We encourage everyone from the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, and Illinois to participate in this exciting event. This year's conference theme, "Operation: Plan! Prioritizing Community Vitals" takes a playful spin on Rochester's health industry. More importantly, it provides a foundation for a conference program that emphasizes how communities are tackling their planning needs in a new era. Proposals for conference sessions are now closed. If you have any additional questions, please contact: Dan Edgerton at dedgerton@hrgreen.com or Tracey Kinney at traceykinney@rocketmail.com.
Call for Conference Exhibitors / Sponsors - Deadline ExtendedDear APA MN Sponsors, We are currently seeking sponsors for this year's Upper Midwest Planners Conference. Being a sponsor provides a wealth of opportunities for networking and increasing your visibility to the planning community. At this year's conference we are anticipating over 450+ participants. More importantly, we are offering new ways for you to become connected with those participants For example, we are looking for sponsors to host key social events. We also recognize this request is much earlier than in years past. However, we are aiming to include your organization's name in the official conference program and on the conference website prior to registration. This new approach will help bolster your visibility as a sponsor. Finally, we have decided to extend the sponsorship registration deadline to May 31, 2013. You can still register by filling out the attached form. On behalf of the APA MN Board, we hope you consider this opportunity. Sincerely, |
American Planning Association Minnesota |
