About the Broward Section
Welcome to Broward!
The Broward Section of APA Florida is composed of local planners, architects, attorneys, city and county officials and others interested in the planning profession. The Board meets monthly and we have a general membership meeting annually, often scheduled along with the holiday party. We also host professional development sessions, city spotlight tours and networking/social gatherings monthly.
If you are an APA member residing or working in Broward County, starting in 2022, you are automatically a member of the Broward Section for no additional fee! Your contact information is provided to the Section to e-mail you our newsletter and event announcements. We hope that if you are not already an APA member, you visit the membership section and submit your application. We also encourage students and elected or appointed officials to join our organization.
