OAPA's Legislative and Policy Affairs Committee (LPAC) is responsible for developing and implementing the Chapter’s legislative and policy action program, informed by the Legislative and Policy Priorities. Regular updates, intended to gain consensus on Chapter positions, include review by LPAC followed by Board review and approval, with consideration of new and existing legislative and policy issues, planning–related parts of the Governor’s and other state-level agendas, and alignment with APA National priorities, where appropriate. The Legislative and Policy Priorities also serve to focus volunteer and staff resources. For more information, please contact the LPAC Chair.
