Yes, it is that time again!
PMPI is kicking off a new season, and our Rock Star Award Program is in full swing as well. We are ready to start taking nominations for our first call for entries to the 2103-2014 PMPI Hall of Fame.
Who do you know who is a stand-out Rock Star in our chapter? Let them know how special they are – nominated them now!
It is easy: Go to this website: www.pmpi.org/quarterly-star-award.php. The link to the electronic form is at the bottom of the page.
You already know the mission is to give back without giving money, and our volunteer efforts have been generating increased interest. Chicago has a service day that you may have heard of that the industry can’t stop talking about. As the nation’s capital, it’s time to boast our red, white and blue with an event of our own. We’re calling this labor of love HUG DC.
Our format will start with a kick-off rally, and we then will send teams off to perform tasks that contribute to the greater good. Everyone will celebrate a job well done with a closing ceremony and networking event.
We look forward to seeing all of you lend a hand to HUG DC and help make a difference in the lives of those in need.
If you are interested in joining the Community Outreach Committee in shaping this inaugural event, please contact Community Outreach Chair Tabatha Gilmore at Tabatha.Gilmore@destinationdc.com.
