As the end of year quickly approaches, so is the December 31 deadline to apply to become an APA Ambassador. This important initiative is designed to encourage future planners with diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. The application is short and easy to fill out, even during the end of year crunch. Participation in the program will provide valuable skills and earn you up to 8 pro-bono AICP CM credits in 2018.
Check out our previous blog post with all the important information on the application and details of the program. You can apply as an individual or as a team. Contact Al Beatty at ab5562@nyu.edu if you would like to join the local team of ambassadors. Thank you Al for stepping up to be a regional team leader!
