<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">Hello Planning Friends and Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">Breaking news: MAPD has rebranded and we will now be known as MAPP—the Massachusetts Association of Planning Professionals! We had a Board meeting after the APA-MA awards luncheon and discussed
several potential options for an organization rebrand and settled on MAPP. Our organization welcomes all planning professionals and now our name is more reflective of our mission to provide education, advocacy, and networking for all planning practitioners
on the front lines. Note that the name of the organizations has not “officially changed,” so our W-9 form, email name, and other organization materials will still say “MAPD.” Be patient.
