Hey Planners:

I know you are all down at the NPC in NYC, but...have you registered yet for the 2017 MAPD conference in Pittsfield on June 15th and June 16th.  If not, what are you waiting for; this conference is not to be missed!  Please follow this link for conference registration: http://massplanningdirectors.org/?page_id=1079
The Conference Committee has shaken up the programming this year! In addition to a keynote address from the Mayor of Pittsfield, Linda Tyer, we have not two but THREE concurrent sessions in four time blocks, a tour and reception at the Colonial Theater, and three plenary sessions. We had an incredible response to the call for session proposals this year and are excited to include the following topics:

 *   Recovering and Relapsing Planners - Planning Directors moving into Town/City Management
 *   Municipal Perspectives on Complete Streets
 *   Broadband access and economic development
 *   Community Engagement and Outreach
 *   Assessing Impacts of Residential Development
 *   Greening Your Community
Feel free to reach out to me should you have any questions!

Best,
Kristina
