2010 Conference: Save the Date!
Designing Healthy Communities
APA Washington Inland Empire Section
24th Annual Conference
Thursday, June 3 and Friday, June 4, 2010
Elkin’s Resort at Priest Lake, ID
Join your fellow planners and learn how you can contribute to creating healthy communities for people of all ages. The Conference will provide you with a dynamic mix of interactive sessions, hands-on opportunities, and offer you the opportunity to network and coordinate with your peers - all with the same goal: providing you a set of tools to promote healthier communities through land use, transportation, and economic development.
Elkin’s Resort at Priest Lake once again provides the beautiful and tranquil setting. In addition to the sessions, the longstanding Cities vs. Counties Volleyball rivalry and Golf Tournament add to the many benefits derived from the conference.
You will not want to miss this conference, so drop what you are doing and mark your calendars for June 4th and 5th of 2010. Registration materials will be available in February.
