Welcome to the Nevada Chapter of the American Planning Association

The Chapter's Mission is to...

To promote public involvement and excellence in planning and to impove the quality of life in the State of Nevada through professional development and education.

The Nevada Chapter of the American Planning Association, like the state of Nevada, is strong, diverse, and adapting to new challenges. True to a refrain from our state song, "Right in the heart of the golden west", the Nevada chapter is a sustaining member of Western Planning Resources, Inc. publisher of the Western Planner magazine. Chapter members receive a Western Planner subscription as a benefit of their membership.

Two-thirds of all Nevadans live or work in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, and the same is true of the Chapter's membership. As of December, 2002, there are 340 Chapter members throughout the state. About 20 percent of the members are Planning Commissioners and other officials. About 30 percent of Chapter members are members of the American Institute of Certified Planners. Members are served by two sections- Northern and Southern. The Northern Section, with 139 members serves 13 of Nevada's 17 counties. The Southern section serves the remaining area of the state including Las Vegas and Clark County. This section has 201 members.

The Chapter hosts an annual conference now in its 37th year. Usually held in the fall, the conference is a great way for practitioners to hone their skills and compare notes with colleagues from throughout the region. The Southern Section hosted the 2003 conference August 5-8, 2003 at the the Golden Nugget hotel in downtown Las Vegas. The conference was jointly hosted with the Western Planning Resources, Inc. and the American Planning Association state chapters of the four corner states (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). The 2004 conference hosted on October 26-28 at Harvey's, South Lake Tahoe. The 2005 conference was hosted on August 30-September 1, at Atrium Suites Hotel, Las Vegas. The 2006 conference was hosted on September 6-8th at the Plaza Hotel in Carson City. The April 2008 conference was hosted at the Venetician Hotel in Las Vegas.
