Minnesota AFP's origins date back to 1977 when it was the Twin Cities Cash Management Association. The association was formed as a non-profit organization and remains so to this day. The original mission was to provide a forum for both improving and recognizing the cash management profession through education and networking. When the National Cash Management Association changed its name to the Treasury Management Association (TMA), the Minnesota chapter followed suit, changing its name to the Minnesota Treasury Management Association (MTMA) in 1995.

During Minnesota AFP's 4 plus year history, the organization has developed a strong membership base that values the association's focus on its regional constituency and the issues that are important to them. We draw members from diverse businesses and organizations--from leading financial institutions and nationally recognized companies to universities and colleges, nonprofits, and well-known regional firms.

To better reflect the diversity of our membership, MTMA officially changed its name to the Minnesota Association for Financial Professionals (MNAFP) in February 2011. MNAFP is one of 57 regional associations affiliated with and recognized by the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) an international professional association with more than 150,000 members worldwide. Members of MNAFP have the option, but are not obligated to join AFP. Visit the AFP web site to find out more about the resources AFP offers to members.
