One of the priorities of the EDI Committee is to expand our outreach to broader\, younger\, and more diverse people in the hopes of generating interest in urban/community planning and related professions. \nFor some context\, the theme for International Women’s Day 2023 is “Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias\, stereotypes\, and discrimination. A world that is diverse\, equitable\, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.” Our guests will speak about their personal and professional experiences both in and out of academia and offer some insights from their research and practice areas. \n1.5 CM equity credits will be available. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nMeeting ID: 850 4130 7650\nPasscode: 499441\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,85041307650#\,\,\,\,*499441# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,85041307650#\,\,\,\,*499441# US

Join us in this training to: \n\ndistinguish EV supply equipment and electrical service requirements \nexamine best practices in expanding EV charging infrastructure via energy codes\, stretch codes\, zoning\, and local laws nationwide through case studies\nunderstand the use cases / economics of fleet electrification \ngain familiarity with smart charging strategies\, charging schedules specific to vehicle duty cycles\, and vehicle to X (“V2X”) to help manage the load during peak times\, and the use of EVs as power supplies to the grid during peak times or outages\ndiscuss pathways and next steps in planning for EVs in your county\n\nThis session offers 2 CM credits to AICP professionals. \nInterested attendees\, please complete this pre-training survey. \nRegister Here \nBrief Biography\nThis training will be delivered by Michael Ginsberg\, Vice President of Energy Transition at Bowman Consulting Group.

SUMMARY:Energy Scenario Planning for Cities & Counties Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Data-driven decision-making can empower communities to invest resources in the most impactful and cost-efficient way. With the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure law\, new resources are now becoming available for local governments\, which makes this an especially important time for communities to be setting clean energy goals and planning how to use resources effectively. This workshop will highlight two complementary tools. The SLOPE Scenario Planner allows users to build\, view\, and compare energy scenarios through the year 2050. \nJoin us in this NREL workshop to discover: \n\nwhat will it mean for your community as the grid is decarbonized\,\nas more drivers choose electric vehicles\,\nas building heating is electrified\,\nand energy loads become more flexible?\n\nYou will explore energy consumption\, carbon emissions and system costs for your county during the live demo. Workshop participants will also gain hands-on experience with the SLOPE Data Viewer\, which can augment the Scenario Planner discussion with data about solar technical potential\, energy efficiency\, transportation and more. \nCM 1.25\n \nRegister Here
