  • The Untold Stories Project questionnaire is now live and available on our website!  https://lnkd.in/eb9CqGYX The Untold Stories Project is a digital, searchable archive of women in the planning profession, capturing their untold stories of leadership, mentorship, teaching, creativity, and overall contribution. Through a digital form, women or a representative will submit answers to a series of questions. Information from the digital form will be summarized into a dynamic story archiving the individual’s career. The stories will be meta-coded so they are searchable by APA Division key words. The Women & Planning Division calls on you to think about someone whose story has gone untold. For more information please reach out to Kate Zanon, Vice Chair, WPD or visit the WPD website.
