Becoming a PIEP member is both a professional obligation and an opportunity to actively participate in the advancement of the environmental planning profession.
𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐏 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 begins and is processed at the chapter level, which serves as the primary unit of engagement for members across different regions. Licensed environmental planners are encouraged to join the chapter that corresponds to their current place of residence or practice.

The PIEP recognizes all licensed environmental planners as members by law, but active and updated participation ensures full access to member privileges, certifications, and involvement in institutional initiatives.
For specific steps, documents, or dues requirements, it is best to coordinate directly with the Membership Committee Chair, 𝐄𝐧𝐏 Marian Ada .
To be recognized as a Member in Good Standing (MIGS) is both a mark of professionalism and a prerequisite for accessing the full benefits of membership. This status affirms a member’s active participation and commitment to the values and mission of PIEP.
To qualify as a MIGS, the following requirements must be met annually:
1. Payment of Dues - The member must be updated with both National and Chapter dues. This ensures the sustainability of PIEP programs at all levels and supports services for members across the country.
2. Active Participation - The member must have attended or participated in at least one (1) National event organized or sanctioned by PIEP (e.g., National Convention, General Assembly, or official training/seminar); and at least one (1) Chapter event must have also been attended or participated in during the same year. These may include local seminars, workshops, community engagements, or meetings organized by the member’s chapter.
