Opportunities for Students

For 35 years, the Planning Association of Washington has pursued its mission to provide an inclusive forum for sharing problems and solutions, developing land use planning knowledge and putting this knowledge into the hands of citizens and their elected officials. PAW currently has two opportunities open to students.

Student Representative to the Board of Directors
The Student Representative attends Board meetings and other PAW events and provides the Board with the perspective of those currently entering the planning field. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know practicing planners and learn more about planning in Washington. Anyone interested in this opportunity should provide a short statement describing their interest and contact information to PAW First Vice President Ken Kuhn, kkuhn913@gmail.com or (509) 991-4844.

Sponsored Student Memberships
In addition, PAW currently has a limited number of complimentary Student Memberships available, thanks to the sponsorship of PAW members. PAW members receive the journal The Western Planner (including PAW News), the PAW Roster, support the Short Course on Local Planning and other activities. Any student interested in a complimentary PAW membership should contact the PAW office at vicky@planningpaw.org. Any student who has questions about joining PAW should contact PAW First Vice President Ken Kuhn, kkuhn913@gmail.com or (509) 991-4844.
