About our presentor:

According to the Susquehanna Greenway website, "Jerry Walls, FAICP is an advisor to trails & river towns. Mr. Walls is a professional planner who served as the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer for the Lycoming County Planning Commission for 37 years and as Department Head for the Planning and Community Development, Zoning and GIS for over ten years. Due to his planning leadership, Lycoming County has gained statewide and national recognition for excellence in planning and progressive environmental initiatives. Mr. Walls wrote visionary policies in the early 1970s for the wise use, protection and better utilization of the Susquehanna River. His persistent work toward that vision led like-minded leaders to form the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership in 2001. In 2012, Jerry was inducted into the American Institute of Certified Planners’ College of Fellows. Fellows of the AICP are honored in recognition of their achievements as an individual, elevating the Fellow before the public, and the profession, as a model planner who has made significant contributions to planning, and to society. Fellowship is granted to those planners who have been members of the AICP and who have achieved excellence in professional practice, teaching and mentoring, research, public and community service and leadership."
