Our membership is diversified and we feature speakers on a wide array of topics that keep us up-to-date on the latest office technology and office ethics. Networking affords us the opportunity to exchange ideas with other professionals.
The chapter has continuously maintained a presence in the downtown Tampa area and is one of the many chapters in the Florida Division of IAAP. With emphasis on educational programs, chapter growth, and community services, City Center Chapter strives to offer the many benefits of IAAP membership.
