Criteria for CM Mandatory Credits

Certification Maintenance (CM) strengthens planning practice and the integrity of the AICP credential by establishing professional standards for all AICP members. Through continuing education developed and delivered by approved CM providers, AICP certification ensures that members' skills and knowledge stay current. Please review the requirements for the topic areas of ethics, law, equity, and sustainability & resilience on the APA website.
Can GPA consider combining your session with another proposal?*
Sometimes GPA receives session proposals on similar topics that would benefit from being combined. (Note: if you mark ‘yes’, you would be contacted for approval prior to any changes being made.)
