Mission

To provide excellence in support services to activity professionals through education, advocacy, technical assistance, promotion of standards, fostering of research, and peer and industry relations.

Values

The National Association of Activity Professionals recognizes the following values:

1. The quality of life of the client/resident/participant/patient served is the primary reason for our services
2. The strength of NAAP lies in the diversity of its members. NAAP recognizes the rich cultural, and educational backgrounds of its members and values the variety of resources represented.
3. The strength of NAAP also lies in the promotion of research, which will further define and support the activity profession.
4. NAAP values the development and maintenance of coalitions with organizations whose mission is similar to that of NAAP's for the purposes of advocacy, research, education, and promotion of activity services and activity professionals.
5. NAAP values members who become involved at the state and national level to promote professional standards as well as encourage employees to recognize them as professionals.

Vision

The National Association of Activity Professionals shall be the membership organization of choice for persons who provide activity services as defined by NAAP.
