Our Division Women & Planning
As one of the earliest divisions of the American Planning Association, the Women & Planning Division was formed in 1979 as a platform from which to provide a national network supporting and advocating for the need of women in the planning profession. Our 2,000+ members (and counting!) welcome you to join our programs and activities encouraging, uplifting, and celebrating women in planning. Please browse our website to find more information about the Division's programs, resources, events, and funding awards. And you can always reach us at women.apa@gmail.com!
