Welcome to the Iowa Chapter of the APA

The American Planning Association Iowa Chapter is a membership organization of approximately four hundred professional planners, planning educators, planning commissioners and planning students from across the state of Iowa.  The primary focus of the Chapter is education to improve planning in communities, counties and regions of the State.   We focus on providing workshops and information to equip our members with the best planning tools and information available in order that they can assist in “Making Great Communities Happen.”  The Iowa Chapter is officially recognized as a sub-ordinate organization by the American Planning Association and as such is registered as a 501c3 organization for educational purposes.
