A New Chapter for TTSP! 🏢✨

The Trinidad & Tobago Society of Planners is officially entering a fresh, focused era. Our team has been busy behind the scenes restructuring and refocusing our mission to better serve our twin-island republic’s built and natural environments.

We are currently hard at work on several key updates — including a comprehensive refresh of our website, our Treasurer is hard at work, and we're reviewing membership — to ensure our members have the tools and resources needed to drive sustainable development forward. 🛠️

We also have a Business Meeting coming up.

Leading this revival is a dynamic Executive Committee that blends seasoned leadership with a fresh generation of Urban Planners. This mix of experience and new perspective is at the core of everything we are building in a rapidly evolving world.

Presenting our TTSP Executive:
President: Fayola Merrique
Vice President: Ryan Darmanie
Secretary: Rayya Andrews
Treasurer: Nathan Laveau
Executive Member for Membership: Renelle Sarjeant

Happy International Women’s Day to the visionaries shaping our world! 🌎✨

Today, we honor the female urban planners who design with empathy, equity, and resilience. From pioneering "eyes on the street" to modern sustainable cities, women continue to transform urban landscapes into places where everyone can thrive.

We’re drawing inspiration from trailblazers both globally and right here at home.

Thank you for building a more inclusive and sustainable future, one block at a time! 🏗️🏙️
