MAPL: Where new leaders of our advocacy community emerge.

The MAPL program prides itself in its ability to bring in a broad spectrum of current leaders in our state and country. The contact students have with our distinguished guests expands their leadership network and provides them with invaluable resources that help them become strong and indespensible members of the leadership community themselves.

The MAPL program owes it unique opportunities to a number of extremely talented advocates and leaders who have been willing to contribute their time and share their knowledge with our students. They are the heart and soul of MAPL and we would like to extend our appreciation to them! You are an inspiration to our students!
