Your promising future awaits, and it begins this fall in Valdosta!
On September 29, 2010, the GPA Fall Conference makes a debut visit to this historic jewel in south Georgia. In recognition of this burgeoning city that embodies the evolution of modern community planning, the theme for this year’s event is Transition to a Sustainable Georgia. More than 40 sessions and 5 mobile workshops will offer AICP credits while highlighting the challenges and opportunities of sustainable development that planners must face as they guide communities to their own promising future.
Participants will have options for professional development in sessions dealing with a variety of topics, ranging from transportation management, environmental preservation, tourism development and more. Mobile workshops will showcase Valdosta’s efforts to make their city truly sustainable, including a rare glimpse into the local military base! As a special feature of this conference there will also be a charette providing participants the chance to work with their fellow planners on a local property, thus allowing GPA to support to the host community! Traditional conference events will also feature with a plenary speaker, receptions, and the annual auction to benefit the GPA Memorial Foundation. There will also be opportunities to be involved with the GPA Board and several committees, plus special events for the Young Planners Group and special sessions for planning commissioners.
So come join us for special event. Foster your own professional development while exploring both a growing city and the future of planning in Georgia. Valdosta and GPA awaits you in your future!
