<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">As many of you know, MAPD has rebranded and we will now be known as MAPP—the Massachusetts Association of Planning Professionals! 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.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">Thanks to so many of you who have re-upped their dues or joined for the first time. Interested in joining; you should, as you get free Lunch n Learns, which are CM-eligible and a discount on the
annual conference! We welcome all planning and planning-adjacent professionals: municipal planners, planners working at RPA’s, consultants, Commonwealth planners, and the list goes on. Note that starting in January 2024, non-MAPP members will be charged
for Lunch n Learn workshops (unless you are a speaker, etc.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
