American Planning Association - Suncoast Chapter

Last Thursday, I had an opportunity to attend my first APA - Suncoast Chapter meeting downtown. The Chapter meets on the first Thursday of each month and they are looking for participation from USF students interested in getting involved. Specifically, they have several events coming up, including a large conference in September. They will be looking for volunteers to get involved. The conference will be held in Tampa this year.

Additionally, the Chapter head, Laura Everitt would like students interested in getting involved to contact her at leveritt@tindaleoliver.com to get on the weekly email list. Student fees to be a part of the Suncoast Chapter are only $5 annually. I would encourage all of you to get involved, there is definitely a lot to be gained by getting involved.

  1. Thanks Chris! It's definitely a good idea to get involved, especially since the USF Urban and regional planning program is not yet accredited.

  2. I agree -- we are lucky to have such an active APA chapter in our area -- they are very, very supportive of our program and sponsor wonderful events.
