APA CALIFORNIA2020 ANNUAL REPORTwww.APACalifornia.org
A Brief History of APA CaliforniaBy Betty Croly, FAICP, Chapter Historian andSteven A. Preston, FAICP, Anniversary Event ChairThe American Planning Association California Chaptertraces its history back more than 75 years: to the CaliforniaPlanners Institute, which existed at least as early as 1933.The organization that we know today is actually the resultof a 1948 merger between the California Planners Instituteand the American Institute of Planners. With that merger,the fledging American Institute of Planners could, for thefirst time, be said to have a ‘national’ reach. Prior to that,the national organization had only about 250 members anda budget of 5,000. The addition of a California Chapter,adding between 100 and 150 members, was a significantaccomplishment–indeed, creating a truly nationalorganization.Mission StatementThe Mission of APA California: Making great communitieshappen through good planning.Toward that end, APA California will: Provide vision and leadership that fosters betterplanning for California. Build public and political support for sound planning. Provide its members with the tools, services andsupport that advance the art and science of planning.The Chapter’s 2019-20 Strategic Plan has three objectives:1. Define the vision and values of the organization and usethem to guide our decisions.2. Identify both short and long term goals and actions toachieve those outcomes.3. Define activities that can be accomplished in the duringthe time frame of the plan that either achieve our shortterm objectives or advance our long term goals.APA California

Chapter PresidentJulia Lave Johnston2020 HindsightIf we needed proof that planners areresilient and adaptable, we got it in 2020.Planners are used to problem solving butthe pandemic presented unique challenges.As an organization and as professionalssupporting our communities, planners found themselvespivoting so constantly it was dizzying. But as any dancerknows, the key to successful spinning is to keep your focuson the spot where you want to end up. I believe that APACalifornia succeeded in doing so.I am grateful to the APA California Board and Sectionleadership for their dedication to our members. For almost75 years, APA California has developed programs thatsupport our members and their professional excellence.Our local Sections and the state Chapter reached outimmediately in March 2020 after sheltering in place to learnhow the pandemic was impacting our members and to seeif we could do anything to help. In the months after lockdown, we “Zoomed” in and the Sections and Chaptercollaborated to host over 35 virtual professional andnetworking events. We moved our popular annualconference online, reworking the agenda to include 100sessions and events relevant to the times. Several Sectionsreached out to students and young planners to offer bothprofessional and financial support.No matter how successful our 2020 programming, thecommunal sense of loss often felt overwhelming as it2APA Californiaimpacted both our personal and professional lives. Todifferent degrees, we all felt it. We watched our communities and families suffer and our worlds get increasinglysmaller as we shed gatherings with family and friends andinteractions with colleagues, or experienced job loss, illness,and fear. The pandemic also brought into sharp relief theinequities and discrimination that had and continues toharm many of our communities–deferring dreams,shortening lives, and squandering potential. While APACalifornia had made a commitment to equity, diversity, andinclusion for several years, events in 2020 compelled us tostart asking uncomfortable questions about our profession:how have planning and planners contributed to systemicracism, and what can we do to change the systems thatmake us complicit?As an organization, APA California needs to keep askingthese hard questions and challenging our members to beopen to the conversation. We need to adapt but also beagents for positive change. As we struggle with theseemingly intractable issues facing our communities fromaffordable housing to climate change to equity, we need tobe respectful of each other and stay focused on where wewant to end up.Planners have the knowledge and experience to be leadersin our communities and help find sustainable and equitablesolutions. Let’s plan to lead.

Closeto 100 sessions and events were offered at the virtualconference, with about half of the sessions eligible forAICP-CM credits. Additionally, because networking istraditionally an important conference activity for planners,the Conference Planning Committee made a concertedeffort to offer opportunities for attendees to interact byprogramming virtual networking events using the Remomeeting platform.With the horrific events in 2020, systemic racism was aprominent topic of public discourse with reflection andacknowledgement of the deep-seated inequalities in oursociety and a call for change.

Vice-President for Diversity and EquityMiroo DesaiWhat did you accomplish in yourposition in 2020?We organized the virtual Diversity Summitas part of the annual conference: “Lessonsfrom COVID-19, Racial Inequities in PublicHealth, Housing, and Transportation.”A webpage was set up to provide resources on racialjustice and social equity. The webpage includes a list ofbooks, podcasts, articles and toolkits, which I update on aregular basis.We supported Section DEI officers by holding monthlymeetings and addressing issues faced at the Section level.We implemented a mechanism–a demographic survey–thatwill allow us to assess the diversity in our APA leadershipboth at the state level as well as at the Section level. Thesurvey was conducted in 2020 and constitutes the baseline.The surveys will be sent out every year so that we cantrack Board leaderships over time.As a Board, we were able to navigate multiple“criseseffectively, and put up a virtual conferencethat spoke directly to the issues at hand.”In summer 2020, we put out a statement in response to theBlack Lives Matter movement. This statement, along withstatements of Section DEI officers, has been posted on theAPA website. These statements collectively ensure to ourmembers our stand on racial justice and social equity.2020 Annual Report7

Distance Education CoordinatorGreg KonarWhat did you accomplish in yourposition in 2020?Prior to COVID-19, livestreaming andrecorded materials were especially helpfulin reaching planners who found it challenging to attend in-person events due todistance or other factors. During COVID-19, when inperson events were no longer available, the webinars andrecorded materials became even more important. Plannerstook advantage of the new virtual platforms to shareexperiences on how they and their organizations werecoping during the COVID-19 lockdown. For thosepreparing for the AICP exam or needing CM credits, theavailability of distance education became a lifeline.Achievements included: Successfully livestreaming and recording a 12-hour, fourpart AICP exam training course with the first threesessions taking place in person and the final sessiondelivered as a webinar.the Chapter great confidence that the virtual conferencewould be a success—and it was.The shift to virtual required by COVID-19 created anopportunity for the Chapter to showcase an existing butunderutilized communication tool in support of planners.While the COVID-19 emergency has abated, all plannershave become familiar with the strengths and challenges ofdistance education. Its legitimacy has been established. TheChapter and Sections are now in much stronger positionsto use it for the benefit of the planning profession.Given the exceptional effort by the Sections to createvirtual workshops on diversity, inclusion, and social justicethroughout the year, and because these themes pervadedthe entire virtual Chapter conference, 2020 will be remembered as an extraordinary year.For the first time in Chapter history, nearly all“Sectionand Chapter professional development Assisting the Sections in making available non-conferencewebinar recordings on YouTube—a first for the Chapter.events in 2020 were made available live to Providing support to the conference planning team inorganizing the 2020 Virtual Conference.ushers in a new era of more inclusive and Editing and posting all conference session recordings toYouTube for on-demand viewing by conferenceregistrants.ities.
