The Arizona Citizen Planner 101

University of Arizona's Cooperative Extension
The University of Arizona's Cooperative Extension is pleased to announce the launching of a new online course related to land use planning. The Arizona Citizen Planner 101™ (AzCP 101) is
a 10-hour online course designed for planning commissioners and elected officials throughout the state. Enrollees will learn the importance and role of their county or city's planning
commission as well as about their respective planning processes. The course is self-paced and accessible at any time with an Internet connection. Planning jurisdictions around the state
will find this course invaluable in bringing new planning commissioners and elected officials up to speed on the state's planning statutes, their jurisdiction's planning authorities, the
role of public participation in developing plans and a host of other useful topics. It is also a great refresher course for public officials who may want to hone their decision-making
skills.
The enrollment fee is $99. A certificate is available upon completion of all units.
This course was adapted for Arizona municipal and county planning officials by University of Arizona Cooperative Extension in partnership with Michigan State University's American Citizen
Planner Institute and the Arizona Chapter of the American Planning Association.
