The National Association
of Planning Councils
NAPC is a national non-profit organization
which seeks to improve the human condition through encouraging
research-based community planning and
action.
Planning councils
bring people together
to
identify needs and work toward solutions,
mobilizing community
involvement,
developing and coordinating services,
advocating for informed
decisions by funders and policy makers,
and linking people with community
resources.
NAPC's annual conference builds knowledge and
networks.
