Karl Fritschen has experienced a long and prosperous career as a professional city planner and landscape architect, something that most people are not fortunate enough to be able to say. Karl's noteworthy career started the moment he left college, when he became employed by the Association of Central Oklahoma Government (ACOG). ACOG is an organization that is best described by the official website itself, which states, "The Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) is a voluntary association of city, town and county governments within the Central Oklahoma area. The ACOG region includes Oklahoma, Cleveland, Canadian and Logan Counties.” “As a Council of Governments, ACOG’s purpose is to aid local governments in planning for common needs, cooperating for mutual benefit and coordinating for sound regional development.
“ACOG is an organization of, by and for local governments that allows member entities to work in partnership to address issues or problems common to many jurisdictions. This regional cooperation serves to strengthen both the individual and collective capabilities of local governments. Originally established in June of 1966, ACOG is one of 11 Councils of Governments in the State of Oklahoma, and one of several hundred planning organizations across the country. ACOG both complements and supplements local government activities but is not, itself, a governmental unit. It does not possess power of legislation, enforcement or taxation.”
Karl Fritschen joined up with the ACOG because of their integrity as well as their rich history. Karl says that there could not have been a better fit for him as a recent college graduate, and that he learned and experienced much during his time with the association, including how to multi-task and give each assignment the proper order of operations to be done in a timely and effective manner.
