| The Young
Planners Group (YPG) is a new committee established by the Illinois Chapter of the
American Planning Association (APA-IL). As the next generation of planners, the YPG aims to provide students and young professionals (having graduated within the last 2-3 years) opportunities to learn more about planning and related fields through professional development programs, community and volunteering experiences, social networking events, and mentoring programs. The APA-IL YPG is in its nascent stages of development and is reaching out to peers, young professional planners, alumni, and more experienced professionals to form the YPG Committee. It is our goal to have YPG representatives from all of Illinois: each ISS region and the CMS. If you don't want to be a liaison but would like to join the YPG, contact us and we're interested in hearing from you too! Liaisons will meet with the CMS and ISS to share YPG's activities within their region and plan events that focus on the members’ needs and interests. Member participation is voluntary and no additional dues are required. All YPG members will receive a monthly update of activities via e-mail and share ideas and concerns on planning related topics. Every year at the APA-IL State Conference, the YPG will organize a special event which will provide an opportunity to meet other YPG members. If you are interested in learning more about the APA IL Young Planners Group Committee and how to become involved, please email us at . We would love to have your help and support! Acting YPG Committee Co-Chairs: Kevin Garcia (MUPP 09) and Brandon Nolin (MUPP 08) YPG Chicago Section Liaison: Brandon Nolin (MUPP 08)
