Congratulations APA Los Angeles Section Recipients! APA California 2021 Awards Program

02 Aug 2021
Ashley Hefner

We are thrilled to extend heartfelt congratulations to the 2021 state planning awards recipients, particularly planners and projects within our APA Los Angeles Section! Awards of Excellence and Awards of Merit were selected by a jury of our peers representing different fields of planning and different locations throughout the state. Awards were granted in various categories such as comprehensive planning, public outreach, economic development, transportation planning, advancing diversity, and hard-won victories. Submittals for state awards were first evaluated by the local Sections for their respective awards, making them quite exceptional!

We invite you to join us for the state awards ceremony during the annual Chapter conference this September, where we will recognize and celebrate the best in California planning. The purpose of the APA California Awards Program is to encourage quality in planning and increase the public’s awareness of the planning profession by recognizing outstanding achievement in the planning field.
