The Untold Stories Project
What's YOUR Story?
Do you know a woman in planning with a story that needs to be told? The Women & Planning Division's Untold Stories Project elevates and celebrates the unsung voices of women and their contributions to the planning.

Untold Stories is supported by a Product Development Grant from APA Divisions Council and will create and maintain a digital archive of women's as-yet untold and unknown stories, memorializing, cataloguing, and sharing women's stories including their leadership, mentorship, teaching, creativity, and contributions to the planning profession.
Women can submit their stories to the archive by responding to the series of prompts on our digital intake form. Stories can also be submitted on behalf of women in planning. WPD's team will transform the intake form responses into easy-to-read, dynamic snapshots highlighting personal and professional accomplishments and contributions to planning.
Women & Planning aims to add at least 50 stories to the archive each year.
