Welcome to the Springfield Metro Chapter(SMC) website.  SMC chartered on January 19, 2007 and we are enthusiastic, growing as a chapter and excited to be a good community partner in the Springfield area.  Our 2006/2007 theme was Continuing to Learn...Continuing to Grow.  The 2007/2008 theme for Springfield Metro Chapter IAAP was Learning...Growing...Providing New Opportunities.

During the 2008/2009 IAAP year the theme for Springfield Metro Chapter IAAP is Growing Mighty Oaks which is indicative of the statement that "Mighty Oaks from Small Acorns grow."  Springfield Metro Chapter has indeed grown in the first 1 1/2 years of the chapter's existance receiving the MO Division Traveling Trophy Award in 2006/2007 and the Avery Dennison Chapter Prestige Award in 2007/2008.  SMC members are eagerly looking forward to the 2008/2009 year as teams and programs are put into place.  During 2008/2009 a Strategic Plan Ad-hoc Team will be appointed and charged with the task of drafting the SMC 3-year Strategic Plan.  As with the chapter's mission statement, this plan will be designed and implemented by the membership.  

If you are looking for an IAAP chapter which is actively involved in the growth and development of its members, actively involved in the Springfield Metro community and actively involved in mentoring, teaching, developing and networking....SMC is the chapter for you.  Please browse our website and then contact any of the officers listed on the 2008/2009 Leadership page for more information. 

Thanks for visiting the Springfield Metro Chapter (SMC) IAAP Website.
