Professional Development

It is essential that providers and their staff receive ongoing professional development and training to ensure they are conversant with the most up-to-date information and industry trends, as well as regulatory and legislative requirements and changes impacting the industry.

ARPA, in conjunction with its federated network of state-based industry groups, offers a range of professional development opportunities for members to hone their skills and keep current with issues and practices. This training is provided as a complimentary membership benefit, or at a heavily discounted registration fee and include:

  • regular state-based seminars, workshops, industry updates, peer collaboration and networking events
  • a biennial national conference featuring industry-expert local and international speakers
  • 24/7 online access to webinars and the latest industry reports, research and information to help members maintain a high level of professional development.
