FPD Annual Training Workshop 2025 Workshop Canceled
The Federal Planning Division (FPD) has made the difficult decision that we cannot operate the 2025 FPD Annual Training Workshop due to recent U. S. White House Administration Executive Orders that have suspended the use of civilian federal government travel cards, purchase cards, and made travel difficult for most federal agencies. We deeply regret the 2025 FPD Annual Training Workshop will be canceled.
All registrants, speakers, and sponsors have been contacted individually. APA and FPD are exploring all options to offer valuable training and AICP maintenance credits. Updates will be shared, and you will be informed in advance of any opportunities.
Thank you for understanding.
Stay Tuned for CM Opportunities
Our Professional Development Officers (PDOs) are working on a list of certification maintenance (CM) opportunities for our members who will miss out on credits from the Annual Training Workshop this year. These will be communicated via email - be sure your FPD membership is up to date to receive our members-only communications.
