The new season of the APA-IL Chapter’s Podcast “Only Planners in the Building” has begun! With the new year, many of us welcome new members to our commissions and boards. So we’re kicking things off with Part Two of our spin-off theme “Only Plan Commissioners in the Building.” Join host Andy Cross, AICP as he sits down with RC McBride, the Chairman of the Plan Commission in the Town of Normal, Illinois. Commissioner McBride talks about the value of leadership and communication on the commission, tips on preparing for meetings, and how planning staff can help equip citizen planners to do their best serving on local commissions. Lots of great takeaways for professional urban planners and members of your community's commissions or boards!

Show notes:

• Plan Commissioner Orientation information "parking lot" on the APA-IL Forum.
• More information regarding APA-IL's Plan Commissioner Training
• Be sure to share the episode with your board or commission! We all have the same questions and are looking for answers and best practices. Let's work together to make a better Illinois!
