AMPP MEMBER MOMENTS
PowerUP: The Power to Belong - Fall into Your Community
Community is the feeling that you are known and needed. It is where people share what they have learned, shoulder hard problems, and celebrate progress together. Trust grows, stories connect, and a shared purpose takes root. Over time, small conversations become real relationships and individual effort turns into collective action.
When you PowerUP with AMPP, you choose to be part of that community and to invest in yourself. You find a place to belong, a place where you are not on your own. Our community is stronger with you in it.
“With the AMPP community around you, no corrosion challenge is yours alone.”
Arthur McKinnon, AMPP Ambassador
AMPP’s network is active wherever you are. Use the Member Directory to reach peers by specialty or region, join a local chapter for regional connections, opt into communities of interest, and take on a volunteer role so introductions become working relationships. With more than 38,000 professionals across 173 chapters worldwide, AMPP’s community keeps you connected to the conversations that matter.
This fall, PowerUP and join the community where you belong.
