Dear APA Colorado Members,

There are a few deadlines, opportunities and announcements we would like to bring to your attention.

2006 Chapter Awards
The deadline is approaching quickly! We must receive your submittal by Wednesday, May 31, 2006. For instructions on how to nominate a plan, project, student project, technology application, or outstanding planner, see the chapter's website - www.apacolorado.org.

Membership Survey
We know there are 1,341 APA Colorado members, but we want to know more. What types of programs would you like to see APA Colorado host? Where could we make improvements? We will be sending an e-survey to you in the coming days. Your response helps bring you meaningful service from your local APA chapter.

2006 Elections
The 2006 APA Colorado ballot has been mailed to all members. The deadline to return it is June 23, 2006. For members with an Arapahoe County address, your county was inadvertently absent from the list of Metro B Representative counties. Arapahoe County members: please vote for the Metro B Representative! If you haven't received a ballot or aren't sure who you are eligible to vote for, contact us.

Get Involved
There are a numbers of ways you can get involved with the chapter without sitting on the Board. The time commitments vary from a few hours counting ballots during the last week in June to regular participation on the Legislative or Media Committees. Please contact us if you'd like to be a more active member of the chapter.

Congratulations, Graham!
Graham Billingsley, our current chapter president has been elected President-Elect of the AICP Commission, a national APA leadership position.
