Regionalism Speaker Series: Fall 2009

CSU/APA is focusing on the theme of regionalism for this year's speaker series. Regionalism, loosely defined, promotes cooperation between people, organizations and governments beyond neighborhood, city and county boundaries. CSU/APA is excited to explore how regional initiatives and proposals might impact Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, and whether or not the idea of regionalism is a practical strategy for the future.

AICP Certification

The American Institute of Certified Planners (or AICP) is the American Planning Association's professional institute. AICP certifies professionals in the United States in the field of urban planning and assists planners in the areas of ethics, professional development, planning education, and the standards of planning practice.
AICP certification is recognized throughout the United States as the mark of a professional planner. Members of AICP pledge to adhere to a detailed Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. Once certified, professional planners may place the designation "AICP" after their name to indicate their membership in AICP, and their mastery of the principles, skills, knowledge, and experience determined by the organization as essential for a professional planner.
To become certified, a planner must have an appropriate combination of relevant education and professional experience, must pass a rigorous examination that tests skills and knowledge, must pay an annual fee, and must be a member of the American Planning Association in good standing.

CSU/APA has gathered AICP certification information for your viewing pleasure.
