Chances are bothof my LinkedIn followers saw my post on Linkedin about SNEAPA. Its commonwisdom that if its in the paper it must be true and if its on the internetterit absolutely positively must be true. With the dearth of local media let meconfirm that its absolutely positively true that SNEAPA needs session  proposals in a way more urgent than Mars need Woman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Needs_Women

 

Within theconfines of the Commonwealth’s 292 towns and 59 cities (and yes we know there are poser towns that are actuallycity forms of govment) there are a number of one horse/planner towns like CranberryLand USA that don’t have the time or resourcesto engage their local Rhodes Scholar to help with complete streets, lane diets,and guerilla art projects to repurpose parking spaces. That said this your opportunityto tell your story, to pay it forward by sharing your experience not only withyour fellow MassHoles but with our colleagues in the Nutmeg State’s 169 townsand  Little Rhody’s 31 towns. 

 

The Southern NewEngland American Planning Association (SNEAPA) is hosting its annual conferencein Springfield, MA on November 7 & 8, 2024.
