North West Young Planners Group
07-Feb-07
The Young Planners Group is a sub-group attached to the Region with an aim to provide a forum within which aspiring young planners in the North West can develop their interest in planning.
The group is run voluntarily by young planners for young planners, and will hopefully provide events and experiences that will benefit all young planners across our region.
How do I get involved?
All young planners whether you are a student, or working are welcome, get involved by either coming along to a publicised event, or by contacting the Region.
Events
The group intends to organises a variety of social and professional events for your benefit, so come along and see what its all about -you will meet planners of all ages working in a range of disciplines, and, at the very least you will have a great time.
