MAPC membership includes over 60 staffing firms involved in direct hire placement, executive search, contract and temporary services. Affiliate members include businesses which service the personnel service industry. MAPC is one of nine local associations in the state of Texas and is affiliated with the Texas Association of Personnel Consultants (TAPC). Nationally, it is affiliated with the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS).

When MAPC was founded, the first objective listed in the bylaws was, To promote and encourage high standards, efficiency, conduct, and ethics of the personnel consulting industry by means of study, discussion, and education regarding business activities and responsibilities.

To help accomplish this goal, MAPC adopted the TAPC Standards of Business Practices which established guidelines for relations with employers, candidates, other private personnel services, and employees. It also provided standards for general topics such as advertising, service charges and collections. A business practices chair was created by the Board of Directors to handle inquiries, complaints, and arbitration issues brought to the attention of MAPC by the public, as well as members and non-members of the Association who are engaged in the personnel industry. MAPC also established an ongoing educational program which included monthly meetings for the general membership highlighting speakers and trainers that focus on the varied interests of the membership.

Today, as the membership continues to diversify, it is vital for the organization to maintain a pulse on the needs of members. Surveys are conducted to identify personnel consulting needs regarding legal updates, new techniques and the latest technology. Additionally, training sessions to prepare individuals for national certification examinations are conducted locally to encourage participation. « less
