Introduction

The Minnesota CHAPTER of the International Association of Workforce Professionals (IAWP) is a non-profit professional organization.

IAWP provides a myriad of services, benefits, educational programs, legislative awareness and recognition avenues for members and the organizations in which they are employed.
