Hi Lydia and Ed,

I am delighted to inform you that after careful deliberation, the Chapter Presidents Council Grants Committee has decided to fund the Chapter’s 2014 2nd cycle grant request in the amount of $3,800. The success of your Chapter’s application attests to the merit of the project’s purpose and the soundness of the plan for implementation.

Over the last weekend in September I had the opportunity to attend the annual American Planning Association’s Policy and Advocacy Conference, Advance Planning, in Washington, D.C. along with our APA Louisiana Chapter President, Ms. Lydia Jemison and Mr. Steve Villavaso.  This was my first visit to D.C. and the Policy and Advocacy Conference and the trip was an amazing introduction to both.
