The American Planning Association (APA) has been a steadfast advocate for planners and the planning profession for more than 25 years. Like the communities that planners serve, APA itself is a community – a family of planners, engaged citizens, educators, and elected officials who all work together toward a common mission: improving how and where we live.

Your decision to become a member shows your dedication to planning and offers a way for you to contribute to the advancement of the profession. The Orange Section offers a professional forum for co-workers, colleagues, and business associates to share knowledge, experiences, and perspectives.

Join now! The Orange County Section of the American Planning Association (OCAPA) encourages you to become a member at the National (APA) or State Chapter-Only (APA California) level. Either way, you will be a member of the Orange County chapter.
