Agenda
Brendan Griesemer, PDO
As the Professional Development Officer (PDO) for APA Missouri Chapter, my role is to ensure all sessions offered at the conference are entered into the AICP certification maintenance (CM) portal and available when you are ready to track your training accomplishments. I work directly with each speaker to gather session descriptions and learning objectives. If you have any questions regarding professional development opportunities for planners, contact me at bgriesemer at springfieldmo.gov.
