“We encourage our staff to be AICP certified for any number of reasons. It shows personal and professional growth. It shows they’re committed to the profession and field; and for any planning organization, it says we hire really confident and capable planners…. and those are the kid of employees that everybody wants.”
– Michael Blue, FAICP | Principal, Teska

 

“I plan to solve problems. How can I convey that a proposed development is either good or bad for the community? So from my perspective, I am saving the world… If you are a planner such as myself, that you know this is something you see yourself doing long-term… I think that tons of doors are open if you have AICP designation.”
– Kimberly Porter, AICP | Director of Community Development, Village of Woodridge
