Joining MAPPA
We are here to serve new and existing members.
Receive Professional Development, Networking, Resources, and Advocacy.
Hello and welcome!
My name is Ally Kosur. I am a Data & Reporting Analyst at Illinois State University in Normal, IL, and I have the great pleasure of serving as the Membership Chair for MAPPA.
MAPPA is the Midwest Region of APPA, consisting of institutions throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
From Jeff Miller, former Membership Chair:
My team at Sinclair enjoys the relationship with MAPPA and APPA based on the following value-added services:
Professional Development: A variety of professional development resources, including conferences, workshops, webinars, and publications. These resources help members stay up-to-date with industry trends, learn new skills, and advance their careers.
Networking: Opportunities for members to connect with other professionals in the field of facilities management. Members can attend conferences and events, participate in online forums, and join regional chapters to build relationships with colleagues and potential employers.
Access to Resources: Access to a wealth of resources, including research and bench-marking data, best practices guides, and technical resources. These resources can help members make informed decisions and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations.
Advocacy: APPA advocates for the interests of facilities management professionals at the local, state, and national levels. Members can get involved in advocacy efforts to help shape public policy and raise awareness of issues affecting the industry.
