About CPF | Administration | Strategic Plan | Financial Status

All members of APA California are automatically members of CPF.  Although APA California members pay annual dues to belong to APA California and the national organization, the American Planning Association, there are no separate dues that go to CPF.

A ten member Board of Directors governs CPF.  The members of the APA California elect eight members to four-year terms. The APA California Vice President for Professional Development and the APA California Student Representative Board Member are also CPF Board members. The CPF Board elects the officers of the Foundation.  The President of CPF also serves as a member of the APA California ’s Board of Directors. The CPF Board is responsible for setting the annual budget of the Foundation, developing the annual professional development programs, and selecting the recipients of the Foundation’s annual statewide scholarships.
