Who is allowed to file a charge of misconduct against a Certified Planner?

Only AICP members
Government officials only
Any person, whether or not an AICP member
Only clients of the planner

The correct answer is: Any person, whether or not an AICP member

The ability for any person, regardless of their affiliation with the AICP, to file a charge of misconduct against a Certified Planner ensures a system of accountability that is accessible to all. This means that individuals affected by a planner's actions—clients, community members, organizations, or even other professionals—can raise concerns about ethical or professional misconduct. This openness is crucial for maintaining the integrity and standards of the planning profession, allowing for a broader oversight mechanism that can help uphold public trust in certified planners. The inclusion of non-members in this process serves as a safeguard, encouraging ethical behavior and reinforcing the importance of maintaining high standards in planning practices that consider the welfare of the community and the environment. When anyone can file a charge, it promotes a more transparent and responsible professional environment, reflecting the societal impacts of planning decisions.
