Minnesota Statewide Activity Professionals Mission

To provide a source of mutual support and sharing of ideas for all persons in the field of activity programming.
To promote and offer educational opportunities that specifically address the Activity Professional and the needs of the people they serve.
To work with other professional groups, regulatory agencies and provider representatives to insure the delivery of activity services in a coordinated, client oriented atmosphere.

The desire to form a state organization initially began during the summer of 1983 with the efforts of many interested activity leaders in the state of Minnesota. In the 22 years of existence, MN SWAP has grown to over 800 members. The annual fall conference draws over 500 activity professionals from around the state and is considered one of the top conferences in the nation for education and attendance.
