It’s hard to believe that we are already 3 years into the COVID 19 Pandemic. As we reflect back through these past 3 years we can all agree it has been the most challenging time for activity professionals. However, by choosing the positive pathway we endured and conquered these challenges and came through this providing the best quality activities to those we serve. We have also learned an essential element that was needed to be effective was to exercise self-care.

SCAAP’s mission is to be there right by your side to provide guidance, resources, and education for you to continue to be successful in providing life enriching activities and promoting your own professional growth with your knowledge and skills.

Our board members are passionate about your success. We are dedicated to support you, the members, in education, networking, and professional development to ensure you receive what you need to continue helping yourself and those your serve have the best experiences.

We are working hard on continuing to update our website, scaap.net, to include easy to use features that will be useful for your program and professional. Thanks to our Webmaster, Rhonda Hernandez. We are also continuing to provide Lunch and Learn Webinars that are FREE to our members.

We want you to encourage you to join and/or renew your SCAAP membership this year. We count on these memberships to build strength in our association.

We are excited to announce the date for our “Live” Fall Symposium. It is Friday, October 13, 2023. Please let us know if you have any speakers or vendors you can refer.

Feel free to contact me anytime.
