About AAMP
Established in 1981, the Adventist Association of Movement Professionals (AAMP) – formerly known as the Seventh-day Adventist Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Association (SDA-HPERA), is the professional organization representing physical education, recreation, and athletic programs in the North American Division, as well as the world field, of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. All individuals employed in the area of health, physical education, recreation, and athletics, as well as individuals interested in the same, are welcomed into membership.
AAMP, under the SDA-HPERA moniker, used to publish a newsletter three times a year: fall, winter & spring through 2008. Click here to access back issues. To subscribe to the low-volume AAMP email list-serv, send your name, email, and institution information to the executive director by clicking here. This list-serv is a vehicle for sharing information relevant to the members of our organization such as upcoming webinars, conferences, etc. and for asking questions of other members of the list-serv.
The association meets at an annual convention, usually held the day before the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE) holds its national convention. When convenient, the AAMP convention is held on the campus of a Seventh-day Adventist college, university or academy.
