APPA Regions


APPA is made up of six regions—CAPPA, ERAPPA, MAPPA, PCAPPA, RMA, and SRAPPA—that include areas of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Within those six regions, there are also several state and local chapters, which provide benefits at a local level. Click here to learn more about the state and local chapters within the regions.


Each region holds an annual meeting in the fall that provides institutional members with professional development opportunities and business partners a chance to engage with members on various levels. Institutional membership in the regions is required for APPA membership, but optional for business partner membership. See the feature article in the APPA News section above for more information about the 2024 regional conferences happening this fall, including dates, locations, and registration information.
