CSAC’s  affiliate, the Institute for Local Government (ILG), is hosting regional training sessions for planning commissioners using content from the newly released Planning Commissioner Handbook. These interactive sessions will take place in person at various locations throughout the state and will cover topics such as the role of a planning commission, how to work effectively with staff and the governing board, effective community engagement, CEQA basics, required planning documents, and local and regional planning challenges and opportunities.

Each session will give participants the opportunity to engage with experts in the field and fellow planning commissioners to hear best practices, emerging trends, and lessons learned.

All sessions are FREE but space is limited and registration is required. This month’s trainings include:

• Thursday, June 16, for Imperial County,
• Friday, June 17, for San Diego County.
