  • "The guide served as a basic training tool at the Nebraska Planning and Zoning Association's statewide training for planning officials the past three years. An excellent resource for helping newly appointed officials understand their roles as planning commissioners."
    -- Steve Charleston, Nebraska Planning and Zoning Association

    "I purchased your Guide for New Members. I was impressed by the simple suggestions and the topics covered. Within two weeks of receipt of your book I was able to use several sections in a pre-meeting workshop with my Planning Commission. I've purchased seven more copies and plan to give each member a copy of their own. When new members come on, they will be provided a copy of the Guide along with their other introductory material."
    -- Tom Langston, Director of Community Development, City of Gillette, Wyoming
