Upcoming Issues of <br />planning minnesota to <br />Highlight Work <br />of Consultants <br />Focus on Contributions of Planning Consultants <br />This year, the Newsletter Editors want to <br />bring a focus to a special part of our planning <br />community. We want to highlight the many <br />and varying contributions of consultants to the <br />world of planning For those of us who need <br />to study a specialty, have a specific project, <br />need to extend our staff, but cannot do so per- <br />manently, consultants can be just the right an- <br />swer. <br />Planning Consultants are available every- <br />where in the state. Some are part of small <br />firms, others are part of very large firms, many <br />are members of our Minnesota Chapter of <br />APA and many have received their AICP certi- <br />fication. <br />These consultants provide expertise in a <br />variety of topics: environmental, transporta- <br />tion, long-range planning, zoning, comprehen- <br />sive plans, neighborhood plans, downtown <br />plans, ordinance writing, grant writing and <br />many, many other topics. They are experts in <br />small town, rural community, developed city, <br />township, county and state-wide planning top- <br />ics. <br />We would like to highlight the work and <br />contributions of consultants over a series of 3 <br />of 4 editions of the newsletter. If you are a <br />consultant, or have worked with a consultant <br />who you think should be highlighted, let us <br />know. <br />CONSULTANTS: Please send an email to <br />newslettera(�mnaI a.com to request a form that <br />asks each consulting firm to respond to spe- <br />cific questions and provides guidelines on pho- <br />tos and exhibits to include when we highlight <br />your firm. <br />Deadline for Consultant Submittals <br />May 15, 2011 <br />planning minnesota April, 2011 <br />Guest Writers Wanted <br />We're looking for some new writers with <br />some different perspectives on planning <br />Are you a consultant? An environmental <br />planner? A small town planner? <br />Do you work for a city? A township? A <br />state agency? An MPO? <br />Is there is something you'd like to say to all <br />the planners in the state? <br />Is there something you know about that you <br />think other planners should know about? <br />Here's your chance! Pick a topic; write up <br />300 to 1,000 words on that topic; throw in a <br />picture or a graphic or two if you can; and send <br />it to us for the newsletter. We'll publish it and <br />provide your name in the byline. Think about <br />it. It's not a long term commitment, just a one- <br />time request —an opportunity —for you to <br />share knowledge important to you with other <br />planners. Submit your article (don't forget the <br />pictures) to us via email at newsletter(a�mnaoa.com <br />and we'll publish your column (sounds nice, <br />doesn't it your column). <br />Still have questions?
