About the Program:
Developers are proposing new projects small and large to meet demand from technology companies migrating to Boston’s Allston/Brighton neighborhood. The Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) is promoting mixed-use projects containing maker-space to maintain the “live, work, play” atmosphere employees and residents all desire. The program will focus on what is driving the demand for office and laboratory space and the mix of new housing proposed in the neighborhood. The program will help explain to real estate appraisers the value of maintaining the “live, work, play” atmosphere and how a mix of new uses increase a neighborhood’s continued desirability. In addition, the program will explain to real estate appraisers how access and proximity to demand generators is playing a role in the Allston/Brighton neighborhood’s transformation into The New Cambridge….

The Candidates Guidance Committee Presents Where Does the Time Go?
When: Wednesday, October 13th @ 4PM
Where: Via Zoom
This is a FREE event but registration is required. Registered participants will be sent a log-in link prior to the event.
About the Program
Earlier this year, the Candidates Guidance Committee sent out a survey which identified the biggest roadblock to designation was planning time to complete the requirements. This program will provide practical advice to assist with completing the comprehensive exam and demonstration of knowledge requirement.
Although all of us like to think we can “manage time”, there are definitely points in our lives, whether in relationships, family, work, education (and the multiple combinations of these interactions), where it feels like time is “managing us”.
In this webinar, we will take a look at how the hours of a week can be better organized, managed, and utilized to avoid interruptions, procrastinations, and delays in getting things done. We will examine what might be putting folks in the position of being “managed by time” and, hopefully, gain some insight into how participants can more effectively “manage time”.
