Earn 4 CEUS and Lunch will be provided!

Planning and zoning serve as the basis for all communities—past, present, and future.

You will acquire practical skills and strategies that can strengthen your business by actively contributing to the creation of environmentally sustainable, equitable, and financially resilient communities.

By acquiring a greater understanding of the visioning, planning, and zoning process, you can empower yourself as a community advocate to effect positive changes and as real estate professional to gain a competitive advantage. You will learn to promote development that is both sustainable and beneficial for the community by advocating for smart growth principles. You will see the future of your community, and your business, in a whole new way!
