MAPS had its' first 2012 Regional Round Table Kick-off meeting today in the West Region. I want to acknowledge and thank Bob Norton for a job well done. Bob hosted the successful meeting at the Corridor Nine offices, which is the local Chamber of Commerce and also secured a sponsor for his meeting that helped with expenses and refreshments. Attendees included current MAPS members and past members who expressed an interest in joining the Association again. I would also thank Steve Provost for working with Bob in putting the meeting together.
