Welcome to Rocky Mountain APPA
RMA promotes the common interests of planning, maintenance and operation of facilities within the region's educational institutions, supports and supplements the activities of APPA, and fosters a professional spirit among those engaged in this work.
Rocky Mountain APPA includes the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and the Canadian Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.
Each year the RMA gathers for an annual conference to renew our commitment to our profession, our motivations, and to each other as peers.
RMA's 2012 Conference will be hosted by Casper College in Wyoming. This year's theme is "Managing in Difficult Times". Mike Sawyer and his team are busy making plans!
The RMA 2011 Conference Report is now available in the Rock Mountain Views online newsletter. Emmet Boyle and his team are working on the proceedings, which will be published here when completed.
Regional Toolkit Offering
Time is running out on an upcoming regional toolkit offering in New Mexico. For detailed information, please see our Professional Development page.
