Welcome to 
Mid America Professional Picture
Framing Association! 
The Mid-America Chapter of the Professional Picture Framing Association serves the picture framing industry in Missouri and Southern Illinois. 
 
We are dedicated to bring educational and networking opportunities to the region's picture framing professionals. 
 
Several times a year, we meet and bring in some of the industries' top educators.  In addition to the meetings, our members enjoy a variety of benefits that more than pay for the cost of membership! 
 
 

Ken Link, CPF and National Board President

says, “To be recognized as a professional in your industry,

PPFA is where you belong.

PPFA provides continuing education, certification and

networking opportunities with your peers.

 PPFA can help your shop survive during these

challenging economic times.”

Education
 
Our Chapter meets approximately four times a year for an evening or day of education.  We bring in some of the industries' top educators that normally would require a day of travel and hundreds of dollars to see.  From hands-on to marketing your business, we cover a variety of topics that picture framers from our region request.
