Program Committee
The Program Committee consists of at least five Chapter members, and one member must be the Chapter's professional
development officer (a requirement of APA). The Committee's main responsibility is to provide continuing education
services and to promote ethical planning practices among Chapter members. The Committee is responsible for soliciting
and selecting topics for programs each calendar year.
The Committee establishes an annual schedule of programs and provides logistical support for programmed activities.
Under the guidance of the professional development officer, assistance with exam preparation for the AICP exam for members
who are interested in obtaining the certification is provided. Volunteers are always welcome on the Program Committee, and
all members are encouraged to submit program ideas to the Committee chair.
