FAQ
Q: I don’t have much free time but I’d like to be more involved with APA Colorado. Is there a role for me?
A: APA-CO is always looking for volunteers to help strengthen our organization and help carry out our mission! Browse the Committee’s pages to see if there is a group working in an area that interests you. We are always looking for simple contributions, too, such as submitting photos to the photo contest or graphic design skills for flyers. Let the Executive Director know if you have a special skill that you’d like to contribute to APA Colorado.
Q: Are there service/volunteer opportunities?
A: APA Colorado partners with Downtown Colorado, Inc to find planners with design expertise to participate in their program to provide free technical assistance to Colorado towns. Visits happen several times a year throughout Colorado and generally require a two-day time commitment. If you are interested in being informed when a new opportunity arises, please contact the Vice President of External Affairs.
Q: How is the money that I pay in APA dues spent?
A: The board approves an annual budget that can be found on our Financials page.
Q: How do I update my email address?
A: You can update your email address and other contact information through your membership profile after you log in.
Q: Who represents me on the APA Board?
A: Every Board member is your representative, but each area of the state also elects an individual to represent that area's voice on the APA Colorado Board. Check out the Area Map if you don’t know your region and find your Area Representative. Feel free to contact your Area Representative at any time. They will be glad to hear from you!
Q. How do I get information on a particular zoning problem we are having in our community?
A: There are currently a few ways to seek assistance from your fellow APA Colorado planners. First, you can use the Member Directory to find other Chapter members. You can also post your question on the APA Colorado social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn.
