The Alaska Chapter of the American Planning Association is a non-profit public interest and research organization dedicated to urban, suburban, regional and rural planning. The Alaska Chapter was established as a non-profit educational organization in 1980. The Chapter brings planning news and training to planners and Planning Commissions in Alaska and promotes intercommunication among planners in Alaska.
