Get Involved

Fellows of AICP participate in a wide range of leadership and volunteer activities throughout the year.  In the past, Fellows of AICP have been involved in the following programs:

APA China Program

Since China's economic reform in 1978, and especially since 1996, APA has been working closely on planning issues with central, provincial, and local governments in the People's Republic of China. In recent years, Fellows of AICP have served as host delegates. As delegates, Fellows provide tours of innovative planning projects in their local communities and lecture to foreign planning professionals on their area of expertise.

Great Places in America

APA's flagship program celebrates places of exemplary character, quality, and planning. Places are selected annually and represent the gold standard in terms of having a true sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement, and a vision for tomorrow. Fellows of AICP have been instrumental in identifying and nominating these great places.

High School Essay Contest

Fellows of AICP have participated as judges in this APA-sponsored essay contest. The contest encourages high school students to address critical planning issues in their communities.

National Planning Awards

Each year, APA recognizes outstanding efforts in planning and planning leadership. Fellows of AICP regularly nominate great work and outstanding individuals. In addition, Fellows have sat on the jury panel.
