Cori »> Naomi A Hamlett <Naomi.Hamlett©wdm- ia.com> 10/6/2010 4:02 PM »> Hello - On behalf of the Iowa Chapter of the American Planning Association, I am pleased to inform you that the Sustainable Dubuque has been selected to receive the Chapter's Excellence Award for Innovation for Sustaining Places. The awards will be presented as part of the APA -Iowa annual state conference, which will be held from Wednesday, October 27th through Friday, October 29th at the MidAmerica Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa. If you haven't already, you can register for the conference online on our website at www.iowa - apa.org. In past years, we've had the awards presentation during the reception. This year's venue does not lend itself to an awards presentation, so we're presenting the awards during lunch on Thursday, October 28th. If you haven't registered for the conference, but would like to attend the awards lunch, please let me know, and I'll make the necessary arrangements to have you added to the lunch count. During the lunch presentation, I will briefly introduce the award, have recipients come forward to accept the award, and have an opportunity for photos. Since we will also have a lunch speaker, we will not have time for additional remarks; however I will be putting together an awards presentation on Power Point. If you provide me with one or two slides you'd like shown during the presentation by no later than Friday, October 22, I can incorporate them into the awards slide show. Please let me know who will be attending to accept the award so that the correct names can be announced. I will be sending out press releases to media contacts in the next week. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Congratulations!
