Dear Members,

I hope this email finds you all healthy and safe during this uncertain time.   It is with deep regret that the MAPT Board has come to the decision we should cancel our annual conference, which was to be held at Boyne, in June.  In lieu of the cancellation of our conference we are looking forward to and pursuing opportunities with the NAPT and their conference to be held in Grand Rapids in November.  Watch for more information and details to follow.

Although we are cancelling our Annual Conference we still plan to continue with our awards and nominations for the board. The board would ask that if you have any nominations for Supervisor of the Year, Technician of the Year, Bus Driver of the Year or Administrative Professional of the Year that you send them in ASAP, no later than June 1^st , to Katrina Morris at morrisk@mapt.org.   Information about prospective 3 year Director and President Elect candidates will be coming through email for your review shortly. We ask that you review and be ready to vote for the candidates once voting becomes open. You will receive further correspondence on what voting will look like in the near future. We look forward to announcing your newly elected board and winner of the MAPT awards by the end of June. Below you will find future Annual conferences and venues, so that you can plan accordingly.

The annual conference will be held the last full week in June each year.
