Planners' Day at the Capitol

This important event provides Arizona planners an opportunity to help elevate the stature of the planning profession in Arizona. A conversation today is remembered and later, when we are commenting on a bill or issue, APA Arizona is recognized and, therefore, our input is given more validity. You are the face of good planning in Arizona! Please bring your project display boards and materials highlighting local planning projects, as this provides a visual that legislators can easily associate with land use planning.
