This is a research project about planners' interactions with community-based organizations. Responses would help inform their findings, if you are inclined to respond and have knowledge and experience in this area. It is not affiliated with APA or NNECAPA: My name is Lexie Durfee, and I’m part of a research team at the University of Utah examining how municipal and county planning departments subcontract with community-based organizations (CBOs) to do community engagement activities for plan-making processes. We are interested in part-time or full-time planners’ perspectives on how they work with CBOs to generate best practices about subcontracting with nonprofits working with hard-to-reach populations and whether subcontracting advances community development objectives of nonprofits. We are contacting you because of your role in the Northern New England Chapter of the APA. We would like to survey you about your insights and experiences on working with CBOs. Alternatively, if there is someone else who is more familiar with subcontracting in your department, please pass this survey on to them. Please take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/emuRz8Sj In addition, we are writing to ask if you’d be willing to share the survey link with your members, such as in your newsletter or social media outlets. If you want materials to post on social media, let us know as well. You are free to skip any survey questions. You may also stop the survey or choose to not be included after completing the survey. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks for your consideration. Lexie Durfee Student Researcher

The Women & Planning Division’s Untold Stories Project is dedicated to celebrating and elevating the voices of women who have contributed to the planning profession. They want to hear from women of all backgrounds and all career stages… women who have made bold changes and those who have been unnamed contributors. They are collecting stories via an online questionnaire at https://lnkd.in/eb9CqGYX or via interview. Telling stories matters. Stories connect people, share information, teach, inspire, entertain, and make a connection.
