Keynote Address: Planning with Purpose
I really enjoyed hearing Mitchell's perspective on diversity, inclusion, and equity and how to deal with these three (3) areas in a politically charged environment. I liked how he showed as planners that we need to look at equity as fairness.
I appreciate that he was willing to come to Idaho to speak to us.

Housing Action Plan-a new tool for addressing housing issues
It was interesting to see two (2) housing plans in different resort areas of Idaho and the data that was used to formulate those plans.
Tuesday, October 11, 2022, 10:17 a.m. CDT
Are We Overregulating ADU's?
I enjoyed hearing the varying perspectives on accessory dwelling units. My jurisdiction is in the process of a zoning ordinance rewrite and one of the items that we are updating is accessory dwelling units. It was nice to learn how others in the State of Idaho deal with ADU's.
Tuesday, October 11, 2022, 10:12 a.m. CDT
Managing Increased Pressure in the Planning Office
The speakers did an excellent job of presenting their material and provided useful examples and strategies. It was helpful to hear that other planners have similar stresses and pressures on them. I was able to take away a few things that I will be able to apply in my professional life.

The 2020 Census - Road to Change

Land Use Challenges for Small Towns: Legal Perspectives on Issues and Obstacles
As a new director in a rural county, this session really helped me understand legal issues that are prevalent in rural communities. Very helpful session.
Tuesday, December 7, 2021, 11 a.m. CST
Ethics Cases of the Year
I would like to see ethics cases from other states to understand a broader perspective on ethical matters. I have dealt with many in my career here in Idaho and in California. And it would be good to see some examples from other states so planners could be mindful of what to look out for.
Thursday, December 2, 2021, 1:16 p.m. CST

Understanding Population Change in Idaho: An Analysis of DMV Data from 2010-2021
Though the source data was limited, this was a very relevant topic that needed to be discussed. Jaap did a great job of leading a discussion and potentially setting up an even better source of data in the future to help show how Idaho demographics are changing.
Friday, November 12, 2021, 2:58 p.m. CST
Keynote: Idaho Past and Present: Using the past to help envision our future
This was a great discussion about the dynamics of big business relationship with small town communities, then the changing role of small towns for historic workers vs. vacationers and wealthy purchasers of property in small towns. Very interesting and great presentation.

Idaho’s Heritage: Preparing Historic Preservation Plans
We do not know what we've got, until it is gone. Historic Preservation takes will, momentum and vision, but the end result is always worth the effort, even if we do not realize it at the time. I am thankful these people are dedicated in their positions, and for sharing their experiences.
Tuesday, November 2, 2021, 5 p.m. CDT
How Does Growth Impact My Community’s Bottomline
Presenter was very frantic in his presentation, jumping between different types of analysis and jurisdictions. Would have been more effective by presenting less information, but going into deeper detail.
Friday, October 8, 2021, 5:33 p.m. CDT
Bridging Planning Education and Practice via Emerging Information Technologies
This was probably good for awareness. I was hoping it would maybe help describe how to better bridge planning education with practical planning application. It's a huge weakness of most planning programs. Perhaps that was my own assumption reading into the title too much.
It was nice to see more awareness of the urban platform though. They have even more changes coming in the next couple of releases with more indicators and better integration with ArcGIS Enterprise (a big reason some agencies don't use it; they'd have to pay for ArcGIS Online credits too). Digression though.
The speaker did a great job; very well informed.
Friday, October 8, 2021, 5:10 p.m. CDT
Identifying Opportunities to Improve Resilience-Planning in Idaho
I had to leave towards the end of the breakout room session, and missed coming back together but reviewed the video later. There was only like 2 minutes left in the video and everyone was shy (apparently). No one shared except the hosts. It would be cool if the other breakout rooms would have been recorded and integrated into the video. Not sure if that's possible.

Great topic. Issues are nothing new, but the data and research is nice to see.
