Since incorporation, each voting member has been known as an Ontario Land Economist. More recently, we have adopted for voting members the designation Professional Land Economist with the right to use the letters PLE after their names. Our Association's members work in business enterprises, in professional firms, and at all levels of governments. We are represented in professional firms practising as consulting economists, planning consultants, land surveyors, professional engineers, architects, property appraisers, quantity surveyors, and management consultants. Within provincial government, our biggest concentration of members are land use planners in the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and municipal assessors in the Ministry of Revenue.
Most members drawn from local governments are land use planners or economic development officers.
Five Association Objectives 1. To continue attracting to membership quality professionals engaged in land economics pursuits. To broaden and enrich the professional development of our members. To promote and maintain high ethical work standards throughout our membership. To gain public recognition of the worth of our membership.
