Event Details

This year’s “Cases of the Year” is a series of four ethical scenarios modeled on real-life planning issues. These scenarios were based on either inquiries or complaints filed with the Ethics Officer during 2025. Identifying factors, such as names and location, have been changed so the focus can be on the educational aspect of each scenario. This “Cases of the Year” presentation was created by the AICP Ethics Committee with assistance from Ralph Willmer, AICP Ethics Officer. The four scenarios are: Cultural Insensitivity; County Planner Elected Mayor of Small Town Within County; Planner as Real Estate Agent; and Hostile Work Environment.
