APA Virginia Board APA Virginia Board Statement on DEI April 11, 2025
The Board of the Virginia Chapter of the American Planning Association met on Friday, April 11th, for our quarterly meeting and took some time to discuss the Chapter's position on diversity, equity and inclusion. It was an emotional conversation as the topic has been front and center of conversations in the political environment of 2025. Here's the Board's statement on its position stemming from that conversation.
