APA Maryland will be holding its 2019 Biennial Conference from October 6th through 8th at the Rocky Gap Casino • Resort in Cumberland, Maryland. Our conference theme is Negotiating Change: Balancing Development, Climate Change, and Preservation in Maryland. As a small, densely-populated state, Maryland is in a constant struggle to find and keep this balance in both its urban and rural areas.
Welcome to the website of the Maryland Chapter of the American Planning Association. Our mission is to make great communities happen in Maryland by offering continuing professional development and other valuable services to our members that will enable them to excel in their practice. We advocate for excellence in planning, promoting education and citizen empowerment, and providing our members with the tools and support necessary to meet the challenges of growth and change. We hold a biennial conference, produce a monthly newsletter, offer continuous opportunities to network, and provide new and varied educational opportunities across the state.
