I am KCMPI and I love what we do!
 Name: Ann D'eonTitle: President Company: Hotel Site Select and ADI Meetings & Events Membership Years: Many, many years!! (21 years) Why I enjoy MPI?
I have enjoyed the learning experience and relationships I have developed as a member of MPI. I most enjoyed being Program Chair of the Sunbelt Chapter as this role really introduced me and my company to the industry and members at large. It was fun work! Then, serving on the board of the MPI Sunbelt Chapter for several years and as Vice President helped me be an active participant at many national MPI events. I encouraged and supported my entire office team to attend, learn and participate at regular meetings. What's most important?
Relationships! I love all the networking and relationships I have developed as an MPI member. Inge Hafkemeyer, CMM, one of our top Consultants and Account Executive was introduced to me when she was Immediate Past President. She is one of THE BEST things that has ever happened to me and my company because of MPI!
MPI is OUR Professional Association and provides us with the respect and recognition warranted for our industry. How has membership affected me?
Serving and being an active member in MPI helped me grow both personally and professionally. Now with offices across the US from Boston, Kansas City, Denver, Austin, the Dominican Republic and Phoenix, we have expanded and continue to grow providing value matching planners and hotels to corporations globally! Thank you MPI!!
One of my first MPI meetings, I met a man who was just starting his transportation company. His name was Alton Hagen. That was a beginning of a 25-year long friendship. During my years as a member of MPI, I have developed many friendships from the planner side and the supplier side. As I look back over the past years each MPI Board brought something new and different to the membership. It is amazing what strong leadership we are blessed with year after year. What organization can you belong to and receive such a wonderful mix of education and networking opportunities? The answer is MPI! I value my membership!! |
