eMAPS programs offer professional development for rising Directors, for VPs and C-Level executives. eMAPS cohorts meet for a year creating a culture of support, sharing, and confidentiality for executives in their cohort. Alumni gatherings for past cohorts support on-going relationships. eMAPS chapter offerings vary in model as well as availability.

A learning repository of materials is used by Chapter leaders for eMAPS to plan and use by executive mentors and/or member facilitators of discussions. Sample meeting topics have included:
*Learning repository contains materials for the majority of these topics and more in development and added with every cohort.
