***Chapter By-laws have been revised and are open for a vote by membership until 6-3-24. The proposed By-law revisions are here.**

The APA RI Chapter is governed by a set of by-laws that outline the structure and procedures governing our Chapter. As the by-laws explain, the primary goals of APA RI are:

  • to advocate for the use of sound planning principles in community affairs;
  • to educate practitioners on planning related topics;
  • to facilitate communication and networking amongst members and associated professionals; and
  • to build the capacity of the profession to affect change.

The by-laws, which were revised in 2019, require that APA RI develop and maintain a five-year Strategic Plan to guide the long-term activities of the chapter, as well as an Annual Work Plan intended to guide the annual activities of the chapter.

The FY 2024 budget governs the expenditure of chapter funds for the 2024 fiscal year. APA-RI’s financial procedures, filings and records are consistent with the guidance provided by APA National.
