Caroline Vanterve Wins Statewide Planning Award for Professionalism and Excellence!

The Virginia Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA Virginia) is pleased to announce Caroline Vanterve, AICP of the Berkley Group as the winner of the 2024 Foxhound Award for Distinguished New Professionals.

 

In just four years, Caroline has amassed an impressive, exceptional suite of accomplishments - cementing her position as a rising star in Virginia planning. Caroline has utilized a broad skill set across many types of planning projects for a diverse array of communities, showcasing the maturity and acumen of an important leader-to-come as she advances in her career.

 

Caroline’s excellence shines through in each of the following career milestones:

 

●       Caroline was a reliable, proficient contributor to the Berkley Group’s work on Dinwiddie County’s Comprehensive Plan. Her research, mapping, drafting, and design work convinced the Berkley Group’s leadership to transfer project management duties to her due to a mid-project staffing change.

●       Caroline builds trusting, productive relationships with her clients which enabled her to deliver an important diagnostic of the City of Hopewell’s land use tools along with an overhaul of Pittsylvania County’s zoning ordinance.

●       Caroline facilitated innovative engagement workshops with the City of Petersburg’s high school students to support and inform the Berkley Group’s work on Petersburg’s new comprehensive plan; Caroline’s rapport with the students empowered them with new insights into important long-range planning principles and land use compatibility.

 

Julie Chop, CZA, CTM, Vice President of External Affairs for APA Virginia, noted that “Caroline’s impressive body of work exemplified the values that the Awards Committee looked for in its Foxhound Award winner. Her ability to pivot and work across multiple leadership roles in different communities makes her a standard bearer for young planners entering the profession.”
