Connections - MPI Potomac Chapter
July 2014A Note From The President
We had a very successful year this year! Kudos to everyone who helped us move from being the third-largest chapter of MPI to the second-largest chapter – No. 2!! Also, kudos to everyone who worked on and attended MACE!, where we had record attendance! Thank you again to my executive committee, board of directors and co-chairs. Being president allows us to work with so many incredible and gifted people. You have allowed me to grow and learn and lead – all which are very valuable lessons. It was a wonderful experience to work with you all and to accomplish many great things. Thank you to our members. It has been an honor to serve as your president this year.
We will continue to have great success in the year coming forward with Matt Wales leading the charge. I am looking forward to being a member of Matt Wales' board of directors and working on future successes that will positively impact our members, our board and our meetings community.
