A hardy group of UrbanPlan volunteers braved the rain to attend the UrbanPlan refresher training on Friday, March 22nd.  Composed of both seasoned and newer volunteers, the group reviewed the basic elements of the UrbanPlan curriculum, practiced using the financial model to determine the impact of various development decisions and rehearsed facilitation and city council questions using the Socratic method.  Professors Daniel Lyons and Sherman Ragland, who teach UrbanPlan at Georgetown University and Bowie State University, respectively, joined the group to share their tips and perspectives as teachers, and ULI Washington’s UrbanPlan Committee Chair Dan Anderton offered insights on interpreting financial data. Thanks to all for such a productive session!
