Architecture & Planning - PRINCE, New York, United States
The CLP develops a class of emerging architectural professionals into civic leaders by refining the critical skills necessary to better represent the people that design professionals serve. By increasing connections to their communities, developing their advocacy capacities, and supporting their pursuit of public service in elected or appointed office, the CLP develops the next generation of civically-minded design leaders. Each year, the CLP selects ten emerging AIA members to participate in a six-month journey to improve their community outreach and public relations skills, strengthening the AIANY's culture of advocacy by providing opportunities to interface with municipal agencies, community development organizations, and local stakeholders.
