After the enormous success of the FPC22 Planning Officials Training, its organizers and presenters are taking the curriculum on the road! This is the ideal opportunity to have a more comfortable setting for local government officials, be closer to home, avoid travel to a conference hotel, which involves expenses such as lunch, parking, and meeting room rental.
We would like to offer this training to elected and appointed planning officials in your area. We know that some sections already provide this training, but others are in need. We can tailor the training to your specific area to meet your needs.
