Planning Forever There are those who believe that it

is the goal o the planner to simply

plan, orever. In an era o dwindlingresources and competing interests it

is now o paramount importance to

demonstrate to the naysayers that the

planning process is not being done

or planning sake. The economic andenvironmental realities dictate that

the planning process work toward

maximizing available resources and

consensus building in an eort to

create implementable plans that willbegin moving us toward “orever.”

 The shores o Lake Tahoe are an ideal

setting to collaborate on how to

achieve “Planning or Forever.”
