Sign up for this low-cost and free session and earn those elusive Ethics or Equity credits NOW.    Avoid the end-of-year panic!



Although 99% of the educational sessions I send out to you all are free, the Consulting Planners of Mass. session on Advocacy Planning is worth the small fee so I am including it. Plus I am the Treasurer of CPM.



Wed., November 29,  5:00 pm to 7:30 pm Advocacy Planning, Ethics and the Unfinished Business of Planning

Summary:  What is advocacy planning, how does it relate to current DEI efforts, and how does it influence the obligation of planners today to serve the public and do the right thing? This hybrid event features a panel of four distinguished planners: Daphne Politis, FAICP; David Lee, FAIA; Ken Reardon; and Pedro Soto. For the panelists, planning is a way to address societal problems and push for changes in policy, design and institutions that work against equitable outcomes. The session will review the AICP Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct as it relates to social justice, equity, unconscious bias, and mitigating impacts of discriminatory plans and policies. There will be a substantial discussion period. Participating in person at Roxbury Community College, 1234 Columbus Ave., is the best way to experience this session. Small fee to participate; students are FREE.
