What is APMP?

 

The Association of Public Management Professionals of Minnesota (APMP) exists to educate, support, and connect aspiring local government leaders to enhance individuals, our profession, and our communities.

 

 

APMP is a professional organization consisting of assistants and deputies at all levels of local government. Many members are assistant city or county managers or work within administration departments. A growing number of members work as assistants in other departments such as public works, police, finance, administrative services, and community development. Activities include: monthly meetings, networking, email updates, conference scholarship opportunities, book clubs, and social events.
