Planning Directors
Dear Fellow Planning Directors,
Welcome to the Planning Directors page! It's wonderful to have a dedicated space for us to connect, collaborate, and share insights on the unique experiences we face as Planning Directors in the beautiful Commonwealth of Virginia. Here at VA APA, we recognize that, regardless of whether we work in small rural towns, counties, or heavily populated cities, our commitment to our residents and staff remains the same. The goal of this Planning Directors page is to serve as both an oasis and an orchard: a place to find grounding and to consume a bounty of information, resources, and best practices. We're excited to provide you with a space where you can find:
- Relevant topics and interesting articles
- Best practices from colleagues across Virginia
- Features on planning work throughout the Commonwealth
- Tips on maintaining a healthy work-life balance
Speaking of work life balance, in case you haven't heard, be sure to Join our first quarterly virtual meeting, "Take a Breather," to kick off this community! To receive an email invitation, please email us at planningdirector@apavirginia.com with your name, jurisdiction, and email.
Be sure to check back periodically as we continue to grow this page into a valuable resource for all of us! We look forward to building a community where we can share, learn, and connect.
Welcome home!
Tevya Williams Griffin, AICP
