Special Bonus for Annual Unlimited Plans
Providers who have "partners" or "departments" within their organizational structure may choose to purchase a separate Provider Number for an additional $95 fee per partner. This allows each partner to share registration powers under one unlimited annual payment plan rather than needing to purchase individual annual unlimited payment plans.
This is limited to partners that either share the same Tax ID (e.g., a planning firm with several locations, a division within an organization, a campus or department within a university), or fit within a governmental structure that accords them similar status (e.g. municipal departments of agencies).

Partnership Guidelines for CM Providers
Providers shall follow the following partnership guidelines:
Providers are not allowed to share their assigned Provider Account Number with other agencies, firms, companies, organizations or individuals who are not approved by AICP CM to provide courses. AICP CM provider account numbers and approved status are solely for the purpose of providing high-quality continuing education to AICP members. By allowing others to use your provider number, the quality of the education provided is compromised.
An approved CM provider may be considered a primary partner in a program if the following conditions are met:
- CM provider has shared the total direct costs of the program (not including consumables such as food and beverages) or the activity is marketed under the registered provider's brand (i.e. logo); and
- CM provider has contributed significantly to the development of the program (e.g., topic and speaker identification);
- CM provider has participated in the marketing of the program
