Each year APA-LA sends out a call for support to businesses, agencies and individuals throughout our state inviting their participation in promoting excellence in planning practice, and building political support for responsible planning in communities throughout our state. We achieve this by holding an annual conference, the location of which rotates among the Sections of our state in a four-year cycle, where we share knowledge, best practices, new ideas, and recognize achievements.

On Wednesday, January 25, the Capital Section conducted their first Lunch and Learn of 2017.  Hosted by the East Baton Rouge Planning Commission, the Section joined with the local ASLA and AIA Chapters to hear a presentation related to recent land development code changes for EBR Parish.

From September 17-20, APA held the 2016 APA Policy and Advocacy Conference in Washington D.C.
