Webcasts for CM Credits

The Virginia Chapter has partnered with other APA chapters throughout the United States to offer these low cost monthly webcasts that can be accessed directly from any registered computer. The sessions are free and are generally listed in the "Upcoming Webinars" section above. To view and register for the monthly webcasts, go to www.ohioplanning.org/planningwebcast. Participants will need an Internet connection. Note that groups can watch these sessions and all AICP members can submit for CM credits, not just the person initially registering. Register early, as space is limited. There are also on-demand recordings of sessions to meet your Law and Ethics credit requirements that can be found on the site through the "Distance Learning" tab.
