Nomination Request for the Affiliate Institute Instructor Designate Group: The Affiliate Instructor Designate Group, held at the AGPA Annual Meeting, was developed by AGPA for the purpose of training local society members to lead process groups for their respective Societies. (This training does not apply to leading a group at the National level.) Individuals nominated by Societies will be offered a place in the group on a space available basis. Participation in the group requires attendance for the two full days of the Institute and to be available to lead a small process group at a future MAGPS Weekend Conference.

Awards: Recognition of the many contributions of time, energy and talent of our MAGPS members is an important way to say thank you. Awards of Appreciation and the MAGPS Award for Outstanding Service are two opportunities to recognize our member contributions. Nominations for awards to MAGPS members who have performed outstanding service may be made at any time to the President and/or the Nominations Committee Chair. Awards are traditionally presented at the Annual Conference Community Meeting.
