| A Year of Knowledge
What a fantastic year! 2009 has been action packed with wonderful
educational opportunities available to APA members in a variety
of formats including great conferences, national education providers,
webcasts, podcasts, and DVDs for viewing in the comfort of your
home or office. There’s something for everyone, whether you
are an AICP seeking Certification Maintenance (CM) credits, or
just looking to keep abreast of the latest tools for planners.
The December APA Calendar is brimming with educational opportunities.
Check them out at http://www.planning.org/calendar. If you still
need additional credits to maintain your AICP, visit the Utah APA
Chapter website for three free webinars scheduled for December
4th, 10th and 11th: http://www.utah-apa.org/webcasts.htm. Course
size is limited to the first 1,000 registrations so sign up soon.
Keep in mind that no-shows frequently occur and you can often get
into the webinar by logging in on the date and time of the webinar.
2010 is shaping up to be equally exciting. The Western Central
Chapter will once again participate with other APA Chapters around
the country to bring our members free webinar sessions. Many
Chapters, including the WCC, are offering more than one event
so the “monthly” webinars will now offer at least
twice as many educational opportunities. As a member of WCC,
you are eligible to participate in all the webinars. In addition
to the other Chapter’s events, WCC will sponsor one webinar
on March 12th and another webinar on August 13th. This year’s
webinar series will offer a wide variety of topics including
multi-jurisdictional planning, using MySpace and Facebook, workforce
housing challenges, historic preservation and much more. A complete
schedule of events will be emailed shortly.
Please feel free to contact me (pmcclenahan@wlcwyo.com) any time
with questions about Certification Maintenance, applying for the
AICP examination or assistance with preparing for the AICP exam.
Happy Holidays!
