Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association

Directions Website Contact the organization

Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association NNECAPA is one of 47 Chapters and 20 Divisions within the American Planning Association (APA), and serves APA members in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

Putting Members First: It may go without saying, but all of the programs, projects, and activities of the Chapter revolve around the central focus of providing service and value to our membership. While some activities are best suited to professional planners, all types of planners – lay and professional – are welcomed and supported by the Chapter. Fostering Partnerships: Given the geography of our chapter and the diversity of Northern New England’s planners, communities, and landscapes, the Chapter recognizes that most activities will be conducted in concert with other groups or agencies. Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont each have active state associations of planners. The Chapter routinely works in partnership with the three state associations to advance the art and science of planning in Northern New England.
