Region VII proudly represents the states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. In retrospect, the VPPPA Region VII began like many other Regions; small beginnings with very few VPP sites. However, throughout the years the Region has seen substantial growth. The Region was established in 1993 and began hosting annual conferences and local networking opportunities for VPP sites in 1994. With the need to expand exposure, regional conferences have moved from state-to-state in order to allow the membership the opportunity to participate in their home state.
