Sustainability Workshop Information May 12, 2010

Dear OAPA Sustainability Workshop Registrants:

Thank you very much for registering to participate in the inaugural OAPA Sustainability Workshop Wednesday, May 12 from 1:30 - 5 pm at Metro, 600 NE Grand Avenue, in Portland. 

Attached is an agenda for the event.  We will begin at 1:30pm so please arrive on time. As you can see from the agenda, the majority of the event will be devoted to our discussions to craft an OAPA organizational approach to sustainability in planning.  You are probably aware, but just to be sure, this workshop does not qualify for CM credits.  It will be of great benefit to members, as well as for the organization, as with these results, we will be better able to articulate our position regarding best practices to external elected, legislative and other organizational affiliates and audiences. 

Please see the pre-readings for the workshop at www.oregonapa.org/sustainability and forward this to other members you think may be interested.  They can rsvp to alisha.dishaw@coganowens.com as online registration is closed.

We look forward to seeing you next week!  Click here for the agenda.
