Knowledge Center

In addition to publishing the STaR newsletter, the division sponsors sessions and workshops at national, regional, and state conferences. We also maintain a permanent national position through the STaR Track at the APA annual conference. We have an awards program recognizing outstanding projects, programs, plans, and people that are working to make the future of small communities brighter. We also sponsor a scholarship program for university students working with small and rural communities. We conduct regular interviews with newspapers, radio, magazines, and other media resources, as well as traveling the world telling the planning story.
