Dennis L. Marker AICP

He did it!  Dennis passed his AICP test.  So for a little clarification on what that means exactly here is a little diddi from the wiki. . .

The American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) is the American Planning Association's professional institute. AICP certifies professionals in the United States in the field of Urban and Regional planning and assists planners in the areas of ethics, professional development, planning education, and the standards of planning practice.^[1] Members of AICP pledge to adhere to a detailed Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. Once certified, professional planners may place the designation "AICP" after their name to indicate their membership in AICP, and their mastery of the principles, skills, knowledge, and experience determined by the organization as essential for a professional planner.

To become certified, a planner must have a specified combination of relevant education and professional experience, must pass an examination that tests skills and knowledge, must pay an annual fee, and must be a member of the American Planning Association in good standing.

Dennis has just been working so hard with everything he has on his plate right now that we are just so glad to have this part done! He can now take his nose out of the 12 inch books he has been lost behind for the past month and focus on other things . . .like school. Just 6 more months there and he can add a masters degree to his resume as well!!  Yeah for Dennis!
