​​APA is launching a new communications campaign targeting local elected officials about the value planners bring to their decision making. The campaign messaging was born from extensive research conducted by APA. In this Learning Lab, you’ll hear the topline research findings – including the perception of planners from local elected officials – and workshop how you can embrace the new campaign’s messaging posture in your professional communication.​
