Take A Minute For Missouri’s Kids - January/2010
There is a lot of excitement in the air with many things happening on the national level as well as on the state level. I would like to take the opportunity to introduce the MOAAP leadership to you in this first Take a Minute segment of 2010. As most of you know we have our annual meeting in November and the new president takes the helm at this meeting.

We have an extremely talented and diverse Board of Directors whom I would like to introduce to the membership. Click here for entire article.
