Starting April 1, 2016, AICP members can earn CM credits for pro bono planning service. Credit for pro bono planning service is a component of the self-report option, which allows members to claim up to eight credits per reporting period. One credit can be claimed for each hour of eligible pro bono planning service. More information about CM credits for pro bono planning service can be found here. In order to claim credits for pro bono service, members must watch a web-based tutorial and complete a self-reporting form to document what they learned.
Serving on APA/AICP boards, committees and divisions at the national, chapter, and section level, including service to advance members’ professional development, are some examples of qualified pro bono planning service.
