Chat it up with our newest board member: Camille Manning-Broome
About the Video
The newest board member of Smart Growth America brings expertise in resilience and adaptation planning to the smart growth movement. Wondering how? Join Camille Manning-Broome and Calvin Gladney for a 30-minute chat over coffee (or lunch) on December 15, 2021 beginning at noon.
A native Louisianan, Camille Manning-Broome is internationally recognized for her expertise in resilience and adaptation planning. Her leadership on issues of land loss, coastal community sustainability, climate change resilience and adaptation, as well as resident-led community planning, has contributed to the transformation of cities, towns and parishes throughout Louisiana and has created knowledge of interest to peers throughout the U.S. and the globe, from South Africa to Scotland to Denmark. With her inclusion on Smart Growth America’s board, we’re looking forward to fast-tracking our climate change and resilience priority.
Her organization, the Center for Planning Excellence in Louisiana, just completed their own Louisiana Smart Growth Summit. In seven sessions over three days, leaders and attendees from around the world shared bold concepts and actionable strategies around transformative placemaking, integrative practices for renewable energy, people-first mobility, climate-resilient communities, stormwater management, and healthy community planning and design.
Calvin will be asking Camille about why she joined the SGA’s board, what you need to know about SGA that you might not see from the outside, and what CPEX learned during their own Smart Growth Summit just last week.
