CM Credits!

We are very pleased to announce that the Certification Maintenance (CM) credits for the 2009 Nevada Chapter Conference have been approved by APA. We still have a few last minute sessions and mobile tours that are being submitted and will likely not have official approval until the conference. If you were on the fence about attending or not, it’s official, we’re one of the most affordable opportunities to gain valuable CM credits before the 2008-2009 reporting period ends this December. Visit the Nevada Chapter on the APA website for details http://bit.ly/FmrYo.

Just a reminder – the early registration deadline is next Wednesday, September 30th. To take advantage of the very low registration price of $100 for APA members, please have your registration postmarked by the 30th. Remember, this fee not only covers your conference registration fee, but also includes the Opening Reception, Keynote Luncheon, and the Awards Dinner & Silent Auction.

More news will be coming out soon on the Keynote luncheon. We are planning something very exciting and a little different this year, so stay tuned for updates!

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting! As the Nevada American Planning Association website is in flux at the moment, we have started this BLOG to communicate with conference attendees and provide a forum for questions. We will be posting as regularly as we can, so check back often!

The Nevada American Planning Association will be having their 37th annual state conference October 7-9 at the Silver Legacy. The theme for this years conference is "Grassroots to Green Economy" - a look at the people and businesses that are shaping Nevada's future. Conference registrations are now available and will be available for download here shortly.

We are very excited to announce that we've created a special "citizen planner" registration this year. If you hold a position on an advisory board or commission related to planning, you can register for only $50 for the entire conference - that even includes a lot of your meals! Just provide us with a letter from you board chair or administrator and your ready to go!
