We are sad to inform the New Mexico planning community that Angela Robbins has passed away. She was a graduate of the Community and Regional Planning program who would go on to a seat on the Albuquerque City Council. She was extremely passionate about our New Mexico community and showed kindness to everyone she met. She was always willing to share her insights with young planners and all those who wanted to make our communities better places for all. She will be missed and we send our thoughts to her family, friends, and loved ones.
It is with great sadness that we inform the APA-NM family that Española Planning Director Muhammed Hussain has passed away. Muhammed was a young man with an infectious smile and enthusiasm for planning and New Mexico. He was eager to get involved with our chapter and has recently lent his time to our 2022 Conference Planning Committee. Today we send condolences to the Española community mourn with his family, friends, and loved ones. Our lives have been enriched by his presence and are grateful for the time we got to know him. We will send out any information on ways to pay your respects to his family and all those who loved him, once details are available.
John M. Valdez, AICP
President, APA-NM
In the wake of the recent tragic death of fellow planner Muhammad Afzaal Hussain as well as the other Muslim men in our community, APA-NM is inviting the New Mexico planning community to a Community Dialogue to discuss honoring Muhammad’s legacy as well as ways that we, as planners, can address community safety.
Please join us at 12:00 PM on August 19th via zoom. US Representative Melanie Stansbury is scheduled to join us for a portion of the discussion.

A ‘gofundme’ page has been created “by the City of Espanola for the benefit of the Hussain Family. The monies will help cover funeral costs and provide a financial cushion since Muhammad was the sole family provider. Imtiaz, Muhammad’s brother, says Muhammad loved education and how it empowers a person and a community. Funds will also be used to honor Muhammad by funding a school in Pakistan.”
Funeral service of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain will be held:

APAC3*21 NOTES
UNM students presented their work at the conference on Wed. 3 November. If you would like to check out the presentation please click this link to watch the zoom presentation.
If you presented at the conference and would like to share your presentation with APA-NM members, please email me (share your files) and I will post asap!
Western Planner Seeks Your Planning Article! The December issue of Western Planner online journal will focus on Planning Law and Legal Issues.
Hey New Mexico planner: Perhaps you already have a paper, article or presentation that lends itself to this topic?
– Or you may wish to write about hands-on experiences and share it with the wider Western Planner audience?
– Or perhaps there is a story based upon a session at the upcoming November APAC3⋆21: Cross-Chapter Collaborative conference?
Western Planner articles can take the form of case studies, reports, overviews, interviews, opinion pieces, and more. Typical articles run up to 2000 words but can be shorter or longer, and are enhanced with graphics, photos or artwork.
The deadline for drafts is November 15th, after which the Western Planner editor and editorial board will review. Please contact Dan Pava danpava1955@gmail.com or 505-577-2319 for further information or to discuss your idea for an article.
AICP Exam Pass Rates: I received a listing of state pass rates from Samantha Morse, the newly installed APA Leadership Associate. Here are the pass rates for NM and our neighboring states: AZ 69.20%; CO 71.40%; NM 43%; TX 45.30%. Let me [pdo@apa-nm.org] know if you have any thoughts about our pass rate, ideas for assisting AICP exam takers, etc.
AICP Panel: I am hoping to put together a panel (Zoom only), “Why and How AICP?” this fall: Please let me know if you are interested in participating. I am imagining this panel as a way to: 1) introduce current students to AICP (at UNM, NMSU, WNMU), with panelists discussing why they took the exam and what it has meant to their careers, and 2) offer advice to early career planners who are considering taking (or not taking) the exam. If you are interested in being a panelist, please email me at pdo@apa-nm.org
What are you seeing, reading, experiencing that inspires you/your practice?. Send me an email with the following: High res photo; Caption (with date, location, if appropriate) with a KEYWORD (e.g., TRANSPORTATION PLANNING), and credit the image; 50 word description (with link, if appropriate); Include your name, affiliation, etc. if you so desire
*Student members encouraged to participate, too 😊
I will gather and post on a rotating basis on the APA-NM website. Let’s share, and inspire each other!

Are you planning to take the AICP exam in 2023, or wondering why one might get certified?
APA-NM is offering an AICP exam preparation workshop series for those planning to take the exam in 2023. This will be a statewide opportunity for folks planning to take the exam in 2023. We will focus on preparing people for the May 2023 exam, but this workshop series will also serve those planning to take the exam in November 2023. This is a pilot program, so we will ask people to fill-out a baseline survey, a mid-workshop survey, and an end-of-workshop survey.
