MN SWAP is divided into regions
The Minnesota Statewide Activity Professionals organization is divided into seven regions based on counties.
Individual regions hold educational sessions and meetings for activity professionals in that area throughout the year. Each region also has a representative who serves as a liaison to the state board and their region. To determine which region you are in, locate your county in the region list below.
