RTPI East of England
RTPI East of England promotes planning as a profession and builds links with other built environment professions and organisations in the East of England area. We offer members a programme of affordable seminars and events to assist with their CPD requirements, and also publish a regular newsletter for members.
About 1,900 planners from central, regional and local government, private consultancies, the education sector and other organisations are members of RTPI East of England.
If you are a member of the East of England Region and wish to assist in any way, please let us know. In particular, offers of help with the regional conference programme and local CPD network will ensure events are organised locally on topics relevant to our area.
