The PA Chapter of APA is pleased to accept award nominations from planners interested in applying for the 2012 Irving Hand Excellence in Professional Development Award. This award, worth up to $2,500.00, is funded through a generous donation by Delta Development Group in honor of Professor Irving Hand, FAICP.

The award is intended for a planner with professional experience, perhaps in mid-career, who has identified an opportunity for professional growth and development, and whose employer lacks the means to support this plan for professional development. Opportunities could include anything from graduate-level courses to study trips to specialized training or certification. Past winners have used the award for graduate courses and specialized charrette training.

The recipient of the award will be announced at the 2011 Annual Conference. The award is made in early 2012.

Deadline for award nominations is Friday, August 26, 2011. For additional information please contact the PA Chapter office at sgalbraith@shermer-assoc.com.
