Letter from your President - Tony Ballard

With the start of fall we welcome in many changes to our lives. Warmer days are going away, cooler nights are a welcome change, schools are back in session, the Chiefs have successfully kicked off another great season, and all of the performing arts venues across the metro are starting up new seasons. While it is the end of a great summer, there are many things to be excited about with the beginning of fall!

 

That is certainly no different in MPIKC. I hope that every member either received a phone call or an e-mail from me in the past 30 days. While it was a time-consuming process, I enjoyed the opportunity to at least "e-greet" all of our members. You all are the reason I agreed to serve on the board of MPIKC and the reason I continue to go to events each month.

We have a lot of great events coming up between now and the end of 2016. You should be receiving a personal invitation from someone on the board to join us. Like so many of our members, I have a young family, travel more than I want to for work, and I don’t have a lot of free time to myself. However, it is important for me to be at every event that I can, and to get to interact with our membership face to face. That is the true value for me as an MPI member. I hope that we are able to meet up face to face in the coming months.

Can you think of something that you wish we would do better? Has someone done something great to help you in your professional life? Let me know how we can better serve you. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Tony Ballard
