Jenn’s Community Planning
BOOK GROUP
In the Spring of 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 health pandemic, Jenn launched a private book group for planners.
It’s a no-pressure, VIRTUAL book group for like-minded lovers of planning for community, sustainability, social equity, etc. Geared toward professional planners but open to planners-at-heart, too!
This is mostly for fun, but also to stay fresh with our knowledge and perspective so we can continue to make a difference. As we get further and further away from our schooling as planners there are so many new points of view and research coming out about all things planning - sustainability, transportation, parking, placemaking, equity, design, and on and on and on.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Jenn hosts a discussion group about every six weeks on Zoom. There is also a private online group where this community of fabulous and thoughtful readers share, connect, and interact in between meetings.
