Ethics - A Game Show!

Learn about the new AICP Code of Ethics that became effective on January 1, 2022. The AICP Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct requires AICP members to act in the public interest and not ignore the acts of others who violate the Code. The update reemphasizes the commitment to equity and inclusion, to opposing harassment, and to preventing misuse of the AICP credential. This interactive 75-minute session, presented by three members of the College of Fellows, is designed to meet the CM Ethics requirement. Understand current planning ethics topics, including how the AICP Code of Ethics applies to challenging issues facing professional planners today. Test your knowledge with an interactive fast-paced and challenging quiz show to assess your understanding of the new Code of Ethics and case studies. Following a short introduction to the new AICP Code of Ethics - including a summary of current issues - the attendees will be grouped into teams to compete in a game show. 

Topics will include equity and inclusion, side-jobs, plagiarism, and conflicts of interest.
