MASA Regional Professional Development Grant Request
As you know, professional learning is a priority at MASA. We work hard to offer multiple opportunities for our members across the state to come together (both virtually and in-person) to learn, grow, collaborate and explore new ideas to support Minnesota's students.
Region Preference Option Now Available
As of November 13, 2025, MASA members may request assignment to a preferred region that differs from the region shown on the official MASA Region Map. Members who wish to change their region must submit a Region Preference Form each year, and requests will be approved or denied annually by the MASA Executive Director.
Members approved for a preferred region gain all privileges of that region, including attending meetings as a member, voting, receiving awards, and running for region or statewide office. Members may still attend meetings in their originally assigned region as guests but forfeit all voting, award, and leadership privileges in that region.
