Your Chapter's Successes

Dear KCMPI Members and Friends,
 
WOW...it has already been almost eight months since I became your Chapter President! During this time, we've seen many Chapter successes. As we slide into 2013, we are rounding the bases to end our fiscal year with a run of 10 for 10.

What does that mean?

It's time to stop and brag about our top 10 Chapter successes for 2012 (there are more but I had to stop at 10!)

10. You asked...we listened!
Your Chapter website, KCMPI.org was redesigned to better meet your needs: including more up-to-date information on programs and events, more Chapter membership stories and easier navigation. A homerun!
 
9. KCMPI's After 5 Events!
We brought back fun, new ways to network and showcase venues!
 
8. The KCMPI Connections!
Less email in your inbox, more concise Chapter information delivered to you each month. One stop information for our members!
 
7. The KCMPI Chapter is Best in Class!
KCMPI was asked to present our Chapter's Strategic Alliance Database as a best practice at the MPI-HQ Chapter Business Summit in Dallas, TX to all other MPI chapters. Based on this presentation, several other chapters are now looking to design their own version of this database. And, KCMPI was nominated for a RISE Award for this database project.
 
6. Field 2 Table 2012!
KCMPI hosted our 4thannual F2T event and we hit it out of the park - again!
 
5. Engaging our Past Presidents!
Our Past Presidents hosted an engaging and entertaining Past Presidents Program in October.
 
4. KCMPI is Smarter Than a 5thGrader!
Here is a trivia question for you...who had their 1stAnnual Trivia Night this past November? Answer: KCMPI did...way to go!
 
3. Members Love KCMPI!
Did you know that KCMPI ranks 3rdoverall out of all the MPI North American Chapters with a 77.54% retention rate?
 
2. KCMPI is a pioneer!
KCMPI is collaborating with the Kansas City Meetings Industry Council (KCMIC) to co-host the first ever Kansas City industry wide education conference and tradeshow.
 
1. YOU!
You are a KCMPI Member and this is your chapter! This is your chapter and with that these are your accomplishments!

If you are a Board Member, Committee Chair, Lead or Committee Member you should be especially proud---YOU made the above items happen!

Keep it up and we will end the year with a homerun!!!

                                      

In hospitality,


Kara Brady
