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.
