REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Welcome to the 2017 Spring Conference, hosted by the Kentucky Chapter of the American Planning Association! We have a great technical program put together, really focusing in this year on getting you the training you need based on feedback we have gotten from previous conference surveys. So fill yours out this year – we listen!
The conference focuses on two tracks – Tools and Emerging Trends. Depending on where your interests are we have presentations on core needs such as ethics, law, GIS applications, public involvement, and small town / rural planning. We also realize the ever-changing nature of the world around us and want to keep you at the forefront of planning – so we are covering topics such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, urban forestry, health plans, and more!
We have several networking opportunities planned – so please join us for some relaxation, catching up with friends, and making some new ones! Wednesday evening, we kick off the conference with a meeting on the patio for hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Thursday at 6:30 PM we will set sail for a cruise of Lake Cumberland with dinner on board the boat.
Don’t forget to stop by and see our sponsor booths – we appreciate the assistance that all of these companies give to APA-KY. They will be located in the lobby near the registration table throughout the conference.
We hope you enjoy your experience at the 2017 APA-KY Spring Conference and look forward to seeing everyone again in the fall in Louisville for our one-day event at the Parklands of Floyds Fork!
Sincerely,Lindsay Walker, PE, PTOE, AICP and Megan Enyeart Chan, AICPAPA-KY Conference Committee Co-Chairs

PLANNING TRENDS Session 6: A Shift in Transportation Planning in KentuckyCM I 1.5Lodge Private Dining Room.

This session will discuss the context and how KYTC is trying to enable planning in KY.
