Attendee Guides

How to get the Most out of the TRB Annual Meeting This guide describes the many opportunities available at the TRB Annual Meeting to network, increase professional expertise, interact with recognized professionals throughout the industry, and get involved in committee activities.

Continuing Education Credits
Nationally recognized Professional Development Hours (PDHs) may be claimed for attending the TRB Annual Meeting.  Each hour of participation earns one (1) PDH; attendees must maintain their own records of attendance.  TRB will confirm an individual’s registration at the request of the licensing or certifying agency.  A credit statement form for PDHs will be provided in the final program received onsite.  Note that, at this time, neither TRB nor the 2013 Annual Meeting is certified with the New York or Florida state licensing boards.  TRB will continue to work with state boards to become an approved provider of their continuing education credits.

 

The American Planning Association [APA] program to certify Continuing Maintenance [CM] credits for retaining American Institute of Certified Planners certification [AICP] will be offered at the 2013 TRB Annual Meeting.  These sessions will be noted in both the Annual Meeting Interactive Program and the printed Final Program.


For additional information about Continuing Education Credits, visit http://www.Planning.org/CM/HowToEarn.htm.
