We are always looking for new ideas and perspectives in the CHPPD newsletter. Writing for the newsletter is easy and fun. Would you consider writing a short article for the CHPPD newsletter in 2006? Below are some ideas for you to consider.


  • One article reviewing books, software, online training: This one is for those of you who said you would like to be updated on planning/policy issues, or would like to discuss ideas with colleagues.

  • An article or letter from a CHPPD member who has never submitted previously sharing an experience(s). If your planning or policy work interests you, it is likely to interest a colleague, so write it down and send it in.

  • Information on new resources, e.g. books, Web links: share information about resources in your area of interest.

  • Photos: it is always interesting to see photographs of members in action on your turf or at the Annual Meeting. Here are some ideas for photographs: members working at the Annual Meeting booth, members in discussion, reading the journal, listening at a roundtable discussion, moderating a sessions, audience listening to a panel discussion, photographs of each of the leadership team members in action, etc.



The newsletter article submission deadlines are Friday, Jan. 20; Friday, May 12; and Friday, Sept. 8.
