Established in 2012, the Minnesota Association for Professional Development (MAPD) supports licensed and technical professionals in their career growth, education, certifications, and networking. MAPD collaborates with other organizations to address shared concerns and prioritize individual members’ professional development needs and interests. Education and licensure remain integral aspects of our mission.
We promote education and professional development for technical professionals, offering resources, skill enhancement, and support for students and educational programs. We also focus on public policy education, civic engagement, and networking opportunities to shape policies and advance our fields collaboratively.
