New Notification Email for the Puget Sound Section

Are you interested in receiving information about upcoming networking events and the latest in planning news from the Puget Sound Section? The Puget Sound Section is moving its email blast to a new platform – MailChimp. Using MailChimp, you will be able to manage your notifications for events and have access to our planning calendar.

We are also excited to roll out our new activities program “Planning Activity & Continuing Education Series” or “PLACES” for short, which will replace the former Brown Brag program. PLACES will offer more variety and frequency in planning events around the region. Be sure to look for additional communication as we roll out the new PLACES program early next year.

Information will also be provided on the Puget Sound Section webpage and occasionally through the Advise, as space is available. We are hoping this new platform will keep our members up to date and informed on activities happening through both the Puget Sound Section and Young Planners Group.

Student Scholarship

The Puget Sound Section connects planning professions throughout the Snohomish, King, and Pierce County area. The Section's primary focus is to provide learning and networking opportunities to share information, ideas, and innovations to better our planning efforts. An annual scholarship is offered to students pursuing planning fields that are located within the tri-county area.

Monthly Webinars

PSS hosts a free webinar once per month covering a variety of topics. This is an opportunity to hear about planning efforts going on around the region and earn few CM Credits while you're at it.

Events

PSS has traditionally held special events including the EPIC Conference, Holiday Party, and Volunteer Work Parties. Due to Covid-19, these events are being temporarily replaced with virtual and socially distant options.
