[Fellows] FW: Please post to Fellows list serve

Dear Fellows -

I endorse having a session on ethics, which, I hope, will would include the ethical treatment of those who work for you.  Ethics and politics seem to have a very loose relationship, although politics and planning don't seem to!

  APA just published a book by Roger Waldon, FAICP, on the topic Nancy suggests below - Planners and Politics.

Or perhaps FAICP could offer a session on the relationship betweenleadership, ethics and courage.  What are the characteristics of aleader that is able to make an ethical decision that may be politicallyunpopular and still survive and remain effective?  How does a plannerknow when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em?  I would argue thatdeveloping good working relationships with elected officials whileestablishing a reputation for being ethical can help shield plannersfrom political pressures to do something unethical.  We also all knowthat not every battle is worth fighting.   It would be great to have a Fellows website where we could providecomments and advice on these types of issues on an ongoing - sort of aFAQ with a dialogue.  Paul Zucker has a great newsletter with this typeof format.  It would be a different type of mentoring, but perhaps onethat could reach more folks. Just some random thoughts, which I hope have not been overly influencedby the record heat...

Topics that were    suggested:  * Issues of courage: leadership through difficult times* Ethics and leadership* Good planning, good politics* Advice at the beginning of your career (that I wish I had)* Students - Fellows connections* Possibility of starting a Leadership track or getting leadership on several tracks.* Great people behind the great places Great Places in AmericaVolunteers to pull the Fellow session together: Connie Cooper, Polly Carolin and Elaine Costello.*Note:* All session proposals must be submitted online by August 28:      _http://www.planning.org/2008conference/sessionproposal/generalsessions.htm_  *FAICP Nominating Committee*Mike McAnelly and Phil Clark volunteered to coordinate an FAICP Nominating Committee.*Fellows Induction Ceremony*The Fellows discussed possible modifications to the induction ceremony. Some thoughts expressed were that the San Antonio 2006 ceremony was too short and not honorary enough. Ideas that were proposed included having the Selection Committee pick one member to make a speech; lengthen the written program and include 50-word statements; include personal data; web postings expanded; include graphics/powerpoint highlighting career achievements; posters about each new Fellow; let the event feel like the Academy Awards with procession and music. There was some discussion about expanding the memorial of deceased Fellows. Ideas about a potential speaker for the ceremony: invite someone special, but not a new Fellow. Do not use powerpoint. *Recognition of Fellows*Greater promotion of the College of Fellows and the induction ceremony       (e.g. Planning magazine, Fellows ribbons at conference). A special Fellows table at the awards luncheon. *Fellows giving back*Examples of best practices from Fellows. Fellows taking responsibility       for university outreach, mentoring, ethics education, role in and contribution to the Planning Foundation. At the local level: Planner in residence at university for a few days; lobbying (e.g. OR).      ------------------------------------------------------------------------  _______________________________________________Fellows mailing listFellows at list.planning.orghttp://list.planning.org/mailman/listinfo/fellows          Dear All,  Read Making Equity Planning Work or Reinventing Cities:  Equity Planners Tell Their Stories.
