The Maryland Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA MD) and the Maryland Planning Commissioners Association (MPCA) are seeking award nominations for their 2024 Awards Ceremony.
The ceremony will take place
on the evening of Monday, October 21, during the 2024 Joint Conference at the Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City.
Everyone interested in planning and sustainable development in Maryland is encouraged to attend the conference and submit award nominations. From the organization:
Do you know a professional planner, citizen planner, engaged citizen, entire staff team, or planning board (planning commission, board of zoning appeals, historic district commission) that deserves recognition for their work in 2023 or 2024? Maryland planners, both professional and citizen, devote endless hours to their communities. APA MD and the MPCA want to make sure we don’t overlook this dedication, and you can help.
