Is EPP for you?

 You know you’re an emerging planning professional if . . .

• you’ve been in the field 8 years or less (after that, you’re technically eligible for senior-level positions, according to APA-National),
• you’ve recently graduated from a planning-related program and are looking to stay engaged with your state APA chapter,
• you want to build lasting relationships with like-minded professionals at similar stages in their career,
• you live and work around the state and want to network with other emerging professionals you might not know,
• you like continuous learning opportunities and want to expand your knowledge of the field,
• you’re interested in peer-to-peer mentoring and/or mentorship opportunities with more experienced professionals, and/or
• you’re just plain curious about this mysterious group called EPP.
