Protect YOUR Environment
Opportunity to Learn CEQA

by Nicole Possert

One of our state's most important environmental laws for protecting resources (historic, cultural, environment, etc.) is the California Environmental Quality Act -- or CEQA. Knowing this law and how it is part of the planning and development process is critical for everybody involved or interested in development from community leaders to city planners, attorneys and commissioners to architects/design professionals.

Two upcoming educational workshops will be devoted to the topic of CEQA and conveniently offered in Los Angeles on the campus of Occidental College. These workshops are part of annual professional training series hosted statewide by the California Preservation Foundation (CPF), a historic preservation nonprofit organization.

As a CPF board member, I am delighted to help bring this educational opportunity to greater Los Angeles that will help everyone better understand and apply this important law. The teaching team includes one of the state's top CEQA attorneys.

Please consider one of the CEQA workshops best suited for your learning needs and schedule:

full-day workshop on Friday August 18 to give in-depth training and expertise (priced at $140 non-member or less if a CPF member and includes lunch) OR 2-hr "Primer" on Saturday August 19 to give the highlights in a concentrated amount of time (priced at $45 non-member)

Attached is the workshop brochure and registration form.

CPF's phone is: (415) 495-0349

Please pass this announcement around to anyone else you think might be interested -- thanks!
