Presented by West Coast Publishers. The Complete Management Course for Planning Directors is a comprehensive two-day course designed for planning and community development managers, division heads, supervisors and future managers.

What is required today is a fundamental shift based on a changing environment and a new information age focus. This workshop is approved for 12.5 hours of Certification Maintenance credits by the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) Testimonials From Prior Courses "Out of my 22 years of local government experience, this rates as one of the best seminars/training sessions I have participated in.
