Impact

Partnerships & Representatives

By bringing people and partners together and leveraging strategic insights, CIP is helping to increase the planning profession’s collective influence and impact on our action issues, such as climate change.

CIP National Policy Working Groups

CIP is pleased to share that we are forming new working groups to build on the exceptional effort of our members who developed our national policies in 2018 and 2019. These groups will help guide the next steps in our advocacy on behalf of the planning profession.

We are looking for 6-10 members to join working groups on the following topics:

  • Climate Mitigation & Adaptation
  • Economic Growth & Resiliency
  • Housing & Healthy Communities
  • Reconciliation & Indigenous Planning
