Member Support Services
IAPA , in an effort to provide more active and ongoing support to its members, has created a Member Support Services Initiative. It is our goal to give our members more information and active support as needed by each individual and/or facility member.
ACE – To accomplish this goal we have taken steps to identify individual members within the organization to answer question and address your needs. And to this end Activities Center of Excellence was Born.
MEMBERS ONLY RESOURCES
Additionally, we wanted to provide our members with extra resources as a perk to remaining a member. Our ACE reps are committed to providing resources that will aid and assist you in providing person-centered activities. As a member you will have access to areas of the IAPA web page from which non-members will be restricted. articles, activities, how-tos, You Tube-restricted access to videos, and recommended links, to name a few. As a member you will be provided with a log-in password to access these resources.
MEMBER 2 MEMBER
We feel that IAPA members are the greatest resources available. What better way to provide expert support than to turn to the people who are actively doing the job, the same job as you? Member 2 Member provides a way for IAP members to reach out to each other with a question, or request information. or just share your favorite activity with others.
