You're Invited: American Planning Association meeting in Burlington

You are invited to attend the upcoming annual conference of the Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association.

This year, for the first time, students are invited to a special planning charrette on Saturday to network with planners and to do some hands-on planning work for the City of Burlington. In addition to highly subsidized conference fees, NNECAPA will pay the transportation costs of students in carpools of three or more.

Please check out the website ( http://nnecapa.org/resources/2011-annual-conference/ ) and contact Jeff Guevin at jguevin@vermontlaw.edu if you are interested in attending!
