The Southern California Transportation & Land Use Coalition is hosting "Charrette 101," a training seminar, on Friday, November 15, 2002, from 8:30-4:00 p.m. at the University of Southern California. It's a seminar that will be of interest to those in both the public and private sectors who want to introduce a dynamic to engage the public in resolving development-related conflicts, drafting community plans and addressing growth issues in the heated Southern California political and planning environment.

Organized in partnership with the National Charrette Institute, the day-long seminar will give you the tools to organize and facilitate a successful charrette. A well-executed charrette can produce opportunities for the uninitiated and experienced alike to be effective negotiators and decision makers in development and planning matters. Local activists who were exposed to the National Charrette Institute's approach at the recent Rail-Volution conference in Washington, D.C. came away convinced of the value and importance of what the Institute has to offer.

The cost of Charrette 101 is $75 for non-profits, $175 for the public sector and $295 for private sector attendees. A 10% discount will be offered to those registering prior to November 1, 2002. Use the link below to access more information on how to register!

(This event is brought to you by the National Charrette Institute with the help of SCTLC and our local co-sponsors, the University of Southern California Department of Policy, Planning and Development, the Center for Law in the Public Interest, the Latino Urban Forum, Livable Places and the Southern California Transit Coalition, among others.)
