Government Training Services (GTS) Presents:
SUSTAINABILITY FOR LONG-TERM COMMUNITY HEALTH
A new half-day workshop for Citizen Planners
Don’t miss this practical workshop designed to take the mystery out of sustainability and help you take steps to translate your community’s goals into action. Participants will be introduced to a common sense explanation of what “sustainability” is, explore why it’s important to local government-- especially in today’s economy, and learn how today’s local government decisions affect tomorrow’s local government costs. A team of experts will share the range of current sustainability efforts and programs in Minnesota communities and in various agencies, with real examples of what your community could do to be more sustainable.
Audience: Elected officials, appointed planning commissioners, members of boards of adjustment and other advisory commissions. It will also be a valuable foundation for practitioners.
Lead Presenters:
Brian Ross, AICP, Principal, CR Planning
Phil Carlson, AICP, Director of Planning, Bonestroo
John Uban, ASLA, Principal, Bonestroo
Barb Senness, AICP, Planning Manager, City of Plymouth
Registration Fee: $60.00 (includes materials and refreshment breaks).
