[Fellows] Fellows of AICP Request

[Mike McAnelly]

Thanks for the ideas and communication, David.  We are trying something
similar among the Texas Fellows (those of us who are still maintaining an
active profile).  We divided the planning schools amongst us and are
reaching out to the PSO's and faculty, to encourage more interaction with
the chapter.  After a couple of years, the results are mixed, but generally
better than before.  Attendance by Texas students at chapter and national
conferences is up, and the faculty has welcomed our interest and support.
We are coordinating the efforts with the Chapter Board of Directors.

 

Looking forward to meeting in Philadelphia.

Greetings Fellow Fellows!

 

I'm sorry that I will not be able to join you in Philadelphia.  However, I
have a question that I would like to encourage you to discuss at the meeting
(informally) or via this list serve (Lynn's message reminded me that this
list serve existed, so I thought I would try to put it to use!).

 

The Wisconsin FAICP contingent (all three of us!) have been contemplating
what, if anything, we, as Fellows, might do at the Chapter (or District)
level to contribute to the profession.  For example, perhaps we should
initiate and lead some sort of community education effort, or maybe sponsor
a planning symposium, etc.  

 

We thought it would be useful to use this list serve to try to tap into your
collective wisdom and brainpower and see if any of you are undertaking these
sorts of activities (again, focused at the Chapter or District level).  If
you have any ideas, please respond to me (or reply to the entire list).

 

Best regards,

 

David S. Boyd, FAICP

Madison, Wisconsin
