Ed and Linda’s panel presentation highlighted IPA’s Delaware Planning Education (certificate) Program, which is offered on a yearly basis. The program is conducted in collaboration with the state’s Office of Planning Coordination and the Delaware Chapter of the American Planning Association.
At that same conference, IPA Research Assistant Megan Lehman presented a poster titled “Cows in the Cul-De-Sac.” This poster dealt with the creation of local food markets and their importance to the community. Meeting participants showed considerable interest in this topic. The theme of Megan’s poster also served as her analytical paper (AP) topic for her Master of Arts degree.
