MAPA Events
MAPA was founded on our in-person educational events. We're dedicated to offering
a wide range of learning and networking opportunities, focusing on relevant topics that
motivate our members to be local life enrichment leaders.
​
We believe that connecting with other activities professionals in a welcoming and
supportive community is essential to our members' growth and success. Our goal is for
you to enjoy yourself while expanding your knowledge and adding valuable tools to your
professional toolkit.
​
MAPA holds at least five in-person educational sessions annually, where members can earn up to 12 CEUs.
​
We invite you to join us at our next event and experience the benefits for yourself!
Empowerment is about creating a culture of trust, respect, and collaboration, where everyone is valued for their unique skills and contributions.
