Mid Year Meeting
Hotel Reminder The Association has purchased a large block of rooms at the Westin Copley Place in advance of our Mid Year Meeting. As a result, we are responsible for any rooms not used during our meeting, and need to take steps to avoid room drops that occur just prior to the event.
Please contact the Association if you need to cancel a room reservation.
Any cancellations after 4-26-11 will need to be paid for by the attendee in full unless we can refill from our wait list.

Silent Auction – Support for our Troops Planned for TMPAA Mid Year Meeting Thanks to the donations of TMPAA Members in 2010, our charitable organization was able to provide $5000 dollar grants to five organizations who applied via a member of the Association. In addition, TMPAA Charities has invested in over 40 businesses through the Micro Loan organization, Kiva. We are in the process of reinvesting thousands of dollars supporting new businesses through that group. Your contributions have made a difference. Thank you.
Silent Auction
Do you have a skill you are willing to donate, a service you are willing to contribute, a piece of valuable sports memorabilia, or vacation time at a beach house?
We are asking members of the Association to donate items of value to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Supporting our Troops TMPAA Charities will be supporting our troops again at the Mid Year Meeting. The Charities board has chosen a group that operates in the Boston area to once again provide care packages for soldiers in active duty locations.
TMPAA Charities will be purchasing the contents of 100 packages that our group will pack and secure in boxes that will then be shipped to our service men and women around the world. More information about how you can participate to follow. Request for Proposals The Charities Board is accepting proposals to fund organizations in your communities that focus on Education or Business Development. Grants will be distributed at the end of each year. Not a Member Yet?
