Recent Events

Spring Training Workshop, May 2-3, 2023

MAPA, Parking Association of the Virginias (PAV), and Washington Parking Association (WPA) joined forces for a training workshop at the Embassy Suites Hotel Chevy Chase Pavilion in Washington, D.C. The joint venture generated a great turnout. An impressive list of speakers presented on a range of topics, from EV charging and considerations for parking, curbside management, and case studies of parking garage structural emergencies were presented over the two days in addition to several networking opportunities. The program included the much loved Parking and Baseball: attendees watched the Nationals play against the Chicago Cubs, toured the stadium, and enjoyed VIP seating in the Kennedy Conference Room.

Networking Cruise, September 14, 2023

MAPA members and guests left from the D.C. Waterfront Harbor on the Spirit of Washington for a two-hour cruise. We enjoyed a delicious lunch buffet and a DJ provided music and entertainment. The outdoor observation deck was a perfect place to enjoy the great weather and delightful scenery while engaging in conversation. The cruise was a perfect platform for working the room.
