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.

Jenn approves all membership requests. You can request membership by emailing Jenn at jennifer[at]jmgoldson.com.
