We’re 9 days away from the 2020 MPA Conference to be held October 24. There’s no question that we have endured a strange, challenging and remarkable year, so let’s get together and celebrate each other, albeit online!

The Silent Auction is Live: Once you’ve registered for the event, you can access the Silent Auction. Thanks to those of you who have donated items to both the Silent & Live Auctions. We’ve set up the timeline so that folks can bid on items right up and through conference day with bidding set to close 10/24 at 9:00 p.m.
Live Auction items are also visible once you’ve registered.
The MPA Store is live and includes 2020 commemorative logo wear.
All proceeds of both Auctions and The Store benefit the MPA Scholarship Fund and we’ve added a Donation button to the event site for those who choose to make a straight donation to the MPA Scholarship Fund.
