Many of MAPAPA's benefits and activities come out of its committees. We invite you to join in by contacting either the Board Chair or President.

Exhibition Coordinators: Our goal is to offer an all-member exhibition on an annual basis. Research and track the availability of regional exhibition sites, and get MAPAPA placed on the exhibition calendars of these sites.

Education Coordinator: We have good ideas for educational seminars and MD Hall is readily available. Coordinate one or two such events a year and develop new ideas for the future.

Membership Liaison: MAPAPA sends e-mails to the membership and receives questions about membership. Our correspondence needs to be composed in conjunction with our events and calendar.

Authors: Do you like to write? MAPAPA’s stories need to be told. Writing can contribute to our Web site, Newsletter, and also be submitted to regional media to promote our events and organization.

Publicity: We would like to reach out to regional media on a more regular basis, to further our mission and promote our events. We would like help in listing contacts and methods of submission.

Image Archive: Many of us have snapshots of our colleagues and our events that can become a good resource for the group. We would like to create a computer home where these images can be organized for storage and retrieval.
