From the President Welcome to Seattle and the 2015 APA National Planning Conference. The conference offers numerous learning opportunities; so too does our location, the majestic Pacific Northwest. I hope you will take advantage of the conference and our location, and turn both into your laboratory of innovation. As planners, we face a multitude of daily challenges. Who better to understand our own challenges than a fellow planner? The conference is a great time to learn, share information, and even challenge assumptions. How are your colleagues addressing climate change? What are some innovative approaches to resiliency? What can we learn from our international counterparts? How are planners using technology? APA’s conference is the only place where you can tap into the collective intelligence of thousands of colleagues. To remain leaders within our communities, we must never stop learning. We must be diligent in continually questioning, exploring, and envisioning the future. The next four days are designed for you. From conference sessions to in-depth workshops, there is something for everyone. This is also a great time for us to remember that we play a vital role in creating communities of lasting value. Enjoy the conference. Use it to learn, network, engage, and reinvigorate. Thanks for joining us this year! Sincerely,

William Anderson, faicp | President, American Planning Association From the Executive Director Welcome to APA’s National Planning Conference, featuring the natural beauty and the exciting planning environment of the Pacific Northwest! The national conference is a time for us—APA—to come together as a community. It is a time for us to celebrate achievements, acknowledge accomplishments, and inspire each other.

I am excited to experience my first national conference and the opportunity it offers Landscape Architecture • Urban Design to meet more members of the APA community.
