WELCOME!
Welcome to the San Diego Chapter of the Association of Environmental Professionals website.

The Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) is a non-profit organization established to facilitate greater relationships between professionals and foster mutual professional growth of our members through those relationships. Discussion forums, monthly luncheons and twice annual CEQA workshops are some of the professional support services that AEP provides. The annual Awards and Scholarship Event, holiday party and occasional evening socials are some of the personal and professional rewards that AEP members enjoy.

The AEP San Diego Chapter is one of the largest chapters in California and is still growing. Please explore our website, investigate our benefits, and treat yourself to membership in our organization.
