“This was an excellent seminar. So much was pertinent to my county and I’m glad I
attended. It was also not ‘too much’, with lots of networking breaks to allow good
conversation.”
– Julie Ann Woods, AICP/ASLA, Planning & Development Director, Pueblo County
“Best Presenters; Told stories that illustrated their points; Used self-deprecating
humor; Pointed out the ridiculousness of certain codes; Illustrated problem
solving experiences; Assumed knowledge based on the part of the audience;
Didn’t bore the audience with recitations of state statutes.”
– Garry Baker, AICP, Senior Planner, City of Montrose
“There were many ‘take homes’ which is great. The issues were relevant to today’s
circumstances. A really good set of topics overall.”
– Fred Jarman, Garfield County, Glenwood Springs
