Emerging Professional Planners

APA-IL is excited to announce the reboot of the Emerging Professional Planners Group (EPP)! The EPP is a dynamic community for individuals who are embarking on their urban planning journey, entering the Illinois planning sphere, exploring career transitions, pursuing studies, or have recently graduated. This vibrant collective is your passport to connecting with fellow emerging planners, fostering your professional growth, and expanding your network.

Our goal is simple - connect planners to planners.

2023 Emerging Professional Planners leaders are Jacque Henrikson, AICP and Roya Nassirpour.
