Metropolitan Area Management Association (MAMA)

The Association provides metropolitan area professionals in City government an opportunity to meet monthly in an informal setting to discuss a variety of important local government issues.

As a busy professional you appreciate the need to economize your time. Our organization provides the opportunity to do that by fostering communication between its members along with bringing in outside speakers. Our meetings are scheduled as Noon luncheons and are informal but informative with scheduled guest speakers who focus on timely local government issues. Our luncheon format also allows discussion with your colleagues on a variety of personal or job-related topics. Our members find the meetings informative while providing a welcome break from their activities at the office.

MAMA luncheons are held at the Four Points Sheraton Minneapolis unless otherwise noted. We generally meet on the 2nd Thursday at noon unless another event is happening on the same day, therefore check dates for each month individually.

Four Points Sheraton Minneapolis Metrodome-- 1330 Industrial Boulevard, MN 55413
