In 2016, APA began a process of making the National Planning Conference more responsive to member feedback. As the first major initiative, all content at NPC18 in New Orleans will fall into an educational track and will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to promote high quality content.  For NPC19 in San Francisco, APA seeks input from members about which tracks should be included in order to design a program that is most responsive to APA membership’s educational needs. 
 
The following survey will be used in the development of NPC19’s educational tracks. We welcome feedback on the issues that are most important to you, your colleagues, your communities, and our profession as a whole.  Please note that the educational program can accommodate approximately 12 tracks: only those that are mostly strongly-supported through this member survey will be considered to join tracks that are selected to highlight the San Francisco Bay Area location of NPC19. 

Full descriptions of the tracks and topics that were used to organize the NPC18 program can be found at https://www.planning.org/conference/proposal/tracks/
 
Thank you for your time and interest in helping shape the NPC19 educational program.
