From the APA website:
APA exists to elevate and unite a diverse planning profession as it helps communities, their leaders and residents anticipate and meet the needs of a changing world.
We are laser-focused on our Envisioned Future, and with a clear set of Core Values to guide our decision-making, we are confidently pursuing a strategy that will prioritize equity, reframe the voice of planning, and upskill planners with a digitally relevant approach.
