MAP is a professional Association, a not-for-profit and a non-political organisation. The Association has an elected board of directors, ie the Executive Committee, comprising of corporate leaders from Pakistan's top notch companies. Since its inception in 1964, MAP has dedicated its efforts to achieving a new high in professionalism and facilitating managers with best management practices.
The primary objective before the Association has always been to stimulate interest in, and disseminate knowledge about modern managerial practices and techniques. It is through desire and dedication that the Association has flourished for over 50 years as an apex forum for training and communication of ideas in the field of management in Pakistan. During the last fifty years the Association has organised about 1500 Seminars and Training Courses with above fifty two thousand participants so far having benefited from such programs.
