This subcommittee would be more aptly named the Media committee as they are responsible for communicating our committee’s mission and educating the public on what is good urban design.
This subcommittee is responsible for organizing professional development activities like presentations, tours, conference sessions, and other events. At our monthly meeting, the committee hosts a presentation by the design team of a local project with the intent on showcasing their work and inviting feedback and discussion. Continuing Education credits are often available for AIA, ASLA, and AICP members.
