The MAPD Recognition Program honors individuals whose sustained participation has helped shape, strengthen, and sustain the Meeting of Analytics Program Directors (MAPD) community. Introduced as part of MAPD’s 10th anniversary, the program is a way to look back and thank those who have made MAPD possible and celebrate 10 years of collaboration!
The MAPD Cornerstone Award
The MAPD Cornerstone Award is a special, one‑time recognition created to honor a singular, foundational contribution to MAPD. A “cornerstone” reflects enduring strength, quiet leadership, and service that made MAPD possible and sustainable.
This award is not annual and is reserved for exceptional circumstances that mark a major milestone in MAPD’s history.
MAPD Legacy Circles
MAPD Legacy Circles recognize individuals based on sustained participation across multiple MAPD meetings. Designations are assigned based on historical MAPD registration records and reflect different levels of long-term engagement.
Individuals who attended a single MAPD meeting are valued members of the community and are recognized as MAPD alumni, but they are not included in the Legacy Circle recognitions below.
