Title edit
American Planning Association
Description edit
The need for planners to shape a community vision has never been greater. The American Planning Association brings together thousands of people — practicing planners, citizens, elected officials — committed to making great communities happen.
APA is a nonprofit public interest and research organization committed to urban, suburban, regional, and rural planning. APA and its professional institute, the American Institute of Certified Planners, advance the art and science of planning to meet the needs of people and society.
Chapters get you involved in APA close to home. They serve as your local source for networking and professional development. When you join APA, you automatically become a member of your local chapter. Most chapters hold an annual conference, educational workshops, AICP exam preparation courses, and produce a newsletter. Many chapters also conduct legislative programs, sponsor planning commissioner training workshops, and conduct public information campaigns.
