The statewide Membership Committee worked for more than a year to put together the MAPE Membership Kit and DVD. We hope you will find these user-friendly and informative about our union and the importance of joining MAPE. This is a work in progress! We value the ideas and suggestions of MAPE members and would love to have your input into future versions of this literature. Send your comments to jsmith@mape.org
