WHO WE ARE Women & Planning Division
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.
We welcome your participation with over 3000 other members (and counting!) in activities encouraging, uplifting, and celebrating all women planners! On our APA website you will find information about our division's activities and services. Please feel free to contact any of the division leaders with your suggestions and inquiries!

Thank you so much for continuing to join us for great programming, resources and networking.

As always, please let me know if there is anything we can do to strengthen the Division and the value it provides – our Director of Membership can be reached at dickensm@plancom.org
