What is this APA is sending to me in my email?
You know, another way for your to show your AICP badge! Instead of just writing it next to your name, you too can pay some third party to show you have the credential. As if you are constantly being asked if your credential is valid.What is this APA is sending to me in my email?
Q: What keeps someone else from copying my badge and using it?
A: The badges are uniquely linked to data hosted on Credly's Acclaim Platform and connected to APA's membership database. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.
You, too?I just saw the email.
The paper copy is in a cheap frame at the office. The pin is somewhere in my closet - never been worn.
I guess I could put it somewhere . . . digitally appropriate.

Sir, Mr. Planner, can I please see proof of your AICP? That matters to me. Sure... yea that never happens.
From the APA site:
APA is so far away from providing value it isn't even funny anymore...
Don't bring Trump into this.Has AICP fraud even been an issue?
Among my younger colleagues, it has become quite a "thing" to have one's framed diplomas visible in the background on Zoom.
I see nothing wrong with framed certs on the wall- that's where mine are, too- but it's funny to see the sudden proliferation of intentionally-in-the-shot diplomas on Zoom.I mean, pharmacists and eye doctors and physicians do it all the time, so I'm failing to see why planners can't too? Yeah it's a little cliche but I equate it to posting a wedding picture on social media every year for your anniversary - it's a phase. People want to feel like the thing they spent a lot of time and money on was at least somewhat useful. After some time when they become your age they'll no longer feel it's relevant and swap those frames for frames of their kids. And younger gens might have a lot more school pride than someone who is older (although again, that's probably has a time limit).

also like...what else are you going to do with your diplomas/certifications haha. Might as well frame them on your wall, at least they’re used that way haha.
