Inclusion Fund
In support of our Strategic Plan priority of More Equitable Planning, Together, CIP has established a fund to help include more individuals who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend a CIP national conference.
The Inclusion Fund is offering a limited number of complimentary registrations to FUSION—both in-person and online—for eligible applicants. Thank you to Urban Strategies Inc. for partnering on this important initiative.
