Autumn marks the season for two important MACPA
events – the Fall Members Advisory Forum and the 2006 MACPA Awards Dinner.

Join Important Local and National Leaders at the Fall Members Advisory Forum
The Members Advisory Forum offers an opportunity for members throughout the state to hear what key leaders in the profession are saying about national and local issues.
