Lambda Alpha International is now registered with the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) as a Certification Maintenance Provider (CM Provider).
Starting in 2008, all professional planners who are members of American Planning Association’s professional institute, the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP), are required to engage in mandatory continuing education. Continuing education activities, to be approved by APA, may include the following:
Conference sessions
Workshops (including mobile workshops)
Lectures
Symposia
Keynote speeches
Roundtable discussions
Many of Lambda Alpha International activities fall into one of these categories. In order to participate in the AICP’s continuing education program and expand our outreach toward professional organization related to land economics Lambda Alpha International is now registered with the American Planning Association, as a Certification Maintenance Provider for members of the American Institute of Certified Planners.
Our educational programs (including the Land Economics Weekends, and Lecture Series, Seminars, Speakers at luncheons and similar activities offered by various LAI chapters) could qualify as events providing credits toward mandatory continued education for AICP members.
This program has a dual benefit for LAI:
Our members who are also members of the American Institute of Certified Planners would receive CM credit as a part of their mandatory continued education program by attending our approved programs.
As an outreach program, our approved activities will be listed on AICP’s calendar of CM events, reaching some16,000 professional planners whose interest are in concert with LAI philosophy. We anticipate some Land Economics-related professionals who are not LAI members would attend certain of our activities and become familiar with our organization.
Fereydoon Ghaffari is our designated coordinator of the program. We encourage all chapters to submit their activities for registration with AICP to Fereydoon. Please direct all questions or requests for clarification to him at FG@GhaffariAssociates.com. The information required for registration of events with APA includes:
