The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) has scheduled a series of educational presentations which are open to the public. The sessions range from transportation issues to city and regional planning. Each session is led by a nationally recognized expert in the field. As a member of the Public Participation Committee for Compass, I wanted to get the word out. There are some great sessions planned.
A complete schedule, details on each session, and backgrounds of the speakers can be accessed on the Compass website at http://www.compassidaho.org/comm/publicevents_connections.htm
