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 add 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 to’s, 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.

TECH SUPPORT

While we expect things to run smoothly we know that Old Murphy is still alive and kicking and his law still prevails “ IF IT CAN GO WRONG IT WILL”.  So we now have a technical support person to assist you with member log-in  and Web Use questions or problems. She may not have all the answers but she will certainly make an effort to find the answer and alleviate the stress of dealing with the technical aspects of being a Web User. So feel free to contact her with your web use or member Log-in support issues. Her information is as follows:
