Objective 1.E
Incorporate concepts of health and wellness into traditional planning, by increasing the number planning professionals in the New Mainstream Campaign.

Proposed Places to Start for 2008:
1.    Propose a keynote at the next annual American Planning Association (APA) Meeting that highlights the importance of the food system, health, and physical exercise in traditional planning.
2.    Leverage the APA’s latest document, “Policy Guide on Community and Regional Food Planning,” and create a California-specific document.  Work with six county planning departments between 2008-2009 to make this document actionable in each county.  
3.    Seek funding from City Governments to hold a monthly “study group” to teach planners about efforts in other cities to incorporate health and wellbeing into city plans, and reach out to isolated communities to support leadership development in these areas.  

Potential Future Actions for 2009-2012:
4.    Create five examples for “Model Cities”, with plans centered on health and food systems that can be disseminated to planners all over California.
