    Description of how the event will meet the Ethics requirement
    Presenters must demonstrate that the content of the activity focuses on training planners on the standards of ethical behavior according to the AICP Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. While general ethics courses, local ethics laws, and ethic codes from other professions can introduce relevant issues as well, the AICP Code focuses on a system of moral principles specific to professional planners.
    For more information please reference the CM Provider Handbook located on the APA website at www.planning.org/cm/providers

    Description of how the event will meet the Law requirement
    Presenters must demonstrate that the content of the activity is related to existing planning laws or case decisions or trends in existing planning laws or case decisions. Political movements, policy recommendations, and policy initiatives are not "current planning law." Existing planning laws or case decisions must clearly constitute a majority of the content of the activity.
    For more information please reference the CM Provider Handbook located on the APA website at www.planning.org/cm/providers
