welcome . . .
...to Ithaca and the 2018 New York Upstate Chapter Annual Conference!
Thank you so much for attending this Conference, supporting the profes-
sion, and spending time undertaking professional development focused on
what is happening within New York State. The Southern Tier Section Confer-
ence Planning Committee has done a tremendous job developing Upstate
Inspired: Connecting Planners. Creating Places and I am confident you will
not only enjoy your time in Ithaca but leave inspired and full of new ideas to
implement in your communities.
The Annual Conference is the Chapter’s biggest event of the year, one
of the best opportunities for all of us to reconnect, learn new trends, inno-
vative practices and creative tools…and to have some fun! The program
this year is full of interesting sessions, mobile workshops, and socializing
opportunities – which I hope you all will take full advantage of during your
time here.
I encourage you to explore all that Ithaca has to offer while you are here.
As planners, the City provides numerous examples of best practices and
unique takes on creating a walkable, interesting, and functional urban
fabric. Topography and natural features, as you have likely figured out by
now if you have not been to Ithaca before, play a major role in the function-
ality and daily routines of city life. The mobile workshops provided during
the Conference will give you an opportunity to see just how the natural
environment blends within City life.
I hope the Conference sessions, setting within the City, and interaction
with other planners during your time here really does inspire and reinvigo-
rate you to continue making a positive difference in our Upstate communi-
ties. As planners, we need to have patience and remember that our work
will make a difference…even if it takes time. The sessions and discussions
will reinforce in all of us that the work we do really does result in positive
change and benefits for all residents of Upstate New York.
Enjoy your time here and make the most out of your conference…I am
quite confident you have earned a few days out of the office!
Best wishes,
Jim Levy, AICP
APA NY Upstate Chapter President
welcome to ithaca!
You made it! See, we’re not as
“centrally isolated” as some would say.
In fact, as planners working in Ithaca and the Southern Tier, we see our region as a HUB
of forward thinking planning. A place where strong economic development really does
co-exist with deep commitment to environmental protection and social justice. A place
where we aspire to leverage innovation and education to lift up everyone. A place that
like anyplace is far from perfect, but where we get to test the planning profession’s best
aspirations. And we’re so pleased to share it with you this week.
“Upstate Inspired: Connecting Planners. Creating Places.” It is a theme that celebrates
planners’ special role in catalyzing positive change in our communities. In a climate of
environmental and economic uncertainty, fiscal stress, and transformative technological
change, communities are re-tooling, re-educating, and re-inventing themselves to be
more resilient, adaptive, and sustainable.
We hope you will come away from your experience at the 2018 NY Upstate APA Confer-
ence feeling inspired, connected, and professionally energized. We also hope you have
a chance to relax and enjoy yourself. Eat some good food. Go for a hike in one of our
gorges. Go for a paddle on Cayuga Lake. Take a bike ride on our waterfront trail, whether
as part of one of the mobile workshops or on your own.
Thank you for attending the Conference, and ENJOY!

WWS Planning ENGAGEMENTMeet John Noltner
John Noltner has been telling stories with words
and images for twenty years for national magazines,
Fortune 500 companies, and non-profit organiza-
tions. His work has appeared in National Geographic
Traveler, Forbes Magazine, Midwest Living, and the
New York Daily News, among other publications.
Throughout his career, Noltner has managed logistics
for editorial and commercial clients, both nationally
and internationally, having worked on three continents. Noltner carefully arranges
details and builds relationships with his clients, using humor, understanding, and
compassion to craft compelling and insightful stories.
Since 2009, Noltner has been asking people the simple (or not so simple) ques-
tion, “What does peace mean to you?” for his multimedia arts project, A Peace
of My Mind. He has driven 40,000 miles across the country, meeting with diverse
subjects, photographing them, and recording their personal stories exploring the
meaning of peace. He has included the voices of Holocaust survivors, the home-
less, undocumented immigrants, convicted criminals, political refugees and others.
The series has been produced as two award-winning books and four exhibits that
travel the country. A Peace of My Mind has been presented at the Nobel Peace
Prize Forum, The Sojourners Summit for Change, Everyday Democracy, the Peace
and Justice Studies Association, the Gandhi-King Conference on Nonviolence and
the Dayton International Peace Museum.
A Peace of My Mind represents Noltner’s belief that art and storytelling have the
power to transform our hearts as well as our communities.
