Planning Official Training

APA National Planning Conference
The National Planning Conference is held in the spring of each year in a different city. Contained within the conference program is a track devoted to planning commissioner training. Each year, APA offers three core introductory workshops and a variety of other workshops on subjects ranging from signs to impact fees to visioning. We hope you will attend the national conferences, but if you are not able to you may order audio recordings from past conferences that may be suitable for your training purposes.
