Create your community toolkit for responsible growth

The role of a community leader has never been more important, or full of opportunity. 

You might be wondering, how can my community access high-speed internet? Can planning trails spark my town’s  economy? Where can I find reliable data to address my city’s transportation problems? How can my planning efforts embrace nature to create a resilient future for my community?

Inspire your community’s future with a full program of professional development, education, and experiences with keynote speakers, panels, and subject matter experts. Plus, you’ll build lasting relationships with colleagues from across the region.
