MPPAW 2011-2012 Program Schedule
Meetings begin at 5:30 p.m. with a social hour, followed by the presentation. The presentation begins at 6:20 p.m. and concludes by 7:45 p.m. We strongly encourage a dialogue between the presenter and the audience, and the last 20 minutes of the presentation is intended for an extensive question and answer session with the audience. So bring your questions and be prepared to share your perspective on the topic with other members of our professional community! A door fee of $12.00 per MPPAW member and $25.00 per non-member ($6.00 and $15.00 for students) will cover hors d’oeuvres at the social hour. This fee will also cover the costs associated with the presentation that evening. Click here for information on becoming a member.
