Outstanding Contribution to the Profession Award
The Outstanding Contribution to the Profession Award was established by the Institute in 2008. This prestigious award is the highest honour awarded to an APPI member, recognizing long term commitment to the Institute and volunteerism. The recipients have demonstrated exemplary leadership in the planning profession and have contributed to the Institute in a number of capacities. Nominees for the award are solicited from the APPI membership at large and the final recipients are selected by an volunteer adjudication committee.

Volunteers Wanted for the PSB's Professional Examination
The PSB administers Professional Examination examination to 150+ candidates per year. In order to maintain the rigour of the Professional Examination, we wish to add additional questions to our questions bank to include in future sittings. We are looking for volunteers who are RPPs/MCIPs in good standing (for 7+ years) to provide support for this initiative. The PSB thanks those who responded to our call for volunteers in 2017 and looks forward to working with another group of volunteers over the coming months.
In order to achieve a sustainable question bank for years to come, the PSB and its Professional Education and Examination Committee would like to confirm your interest and advise you of the next steps in the process. To add to our existing question bank, we are asking volunteers to confirm their interest in contributing to this initiative by emailing Nzinga Brown at [email protected].
