Enjoy - and let us know how else we may help your career growth...

Our Mission Statement:  We are a non-profit organization for the growth and education of Activity Professionals. Since aging issues and conditions have no geographic boundaries, social levels, or ecomonic limitations neither should the knowledge that the Activity Professional can offer to all in need of these practices and positive outcomes.

The need for professional activity and dementia vocations is a human need and a global need.  It affects all peoples and locations, we are proud to be a part of this growth because what you do matters.
