Documents

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.

Five-year Strategic Plan

The Chapter by-laws require that APA RI develop and maintain a five-year Strategic Plan to guide the long-term activities of the chapter. Our 2026-2031 Chapter Strategic Plan is here.


Our Annual Work Plan guides the annual activities of the chapter.


The FY 2027 budget governs the expenditure of chapter funds for the 2026 fiscal year (7/1/26-6/30/27). APA-RI’s financial procedures, filings and records are consistent with the guidance provided by APA National.
