A Message from the President 
The Mississippi Chapter of the American Planning Association recently completed another Fall Conference, our 33^rd Annual Chapter Gathering, held in Greenwood on November 29^th and 30^th , 2011 . The sessions, speakers, food, and locale were first rate in every respect,  and the hospitality and enthusiasm expressed throughout the City of Greenwood were most appreciated by all who attended. We will certainly look forward with anticipation to again visit the Heart of the Delta, hopefully very soon.

Our Executive Committee (inclusive of a large number of newly-elected officers) as well as the Major Committee Chairpersons for APA-MS will meet in Hattiesburg before year’s end to wrap-up several items which, when completed, will result in the implementation of our Chapter’s Multi-Year Strategic Plan.  It is further expected that several modifications to our Chapter By-Laws will also be recommended to our membership. These items will require a vote approval by Chapter members to implement, so be advised that if you are an APA Member, make certain that your email and other membership information  on file is up to date with APA National. If you are a Chapter-Only Member, please notify our new Chapter Secretary (Donavan Scruggs, AICP) of any email, postal service address, or phone number changes – suggestions offered to ensure the timely delivery of/notification for all APA-MS mail-outs, scheduled events and balloting. It is most important that we know how and where to contact you, as you are the client that we in Chapter Leadership are pledged to serve.
