Volunteer/Join a Committee
The best way to get the most out of your MPI-CAC membership is by joining a committee. It’s a great way to network, utilize your skills or challenge yourself to try something new! We know everyone has busy schedules, but many of our committees have a variety of tasks that can be done in just one hour a month!
Committees are always looking for members with leadership skills, creative mindsets and the drive to collaborate with fellow industry professionals. Click here to see the full list of committees and to fill out the committee interest form.
Committee Spotlight – Member Care Committee
Vice President, Membership – Sara Broderick
Director of Member Engagement – Anna Hess
Co-Chair – Jennifer Kramer
What is your committee responsible for?
We are responsible for making sure all our members are getting the most out of their memberships! We are the first ones to welcome them once they join our community, and we keep them up-to-date with upcoming events, promotions and all things MPI! We partner up our new members with buddies and stick with them throughout the first year of their membership to help them get acquainted and make connections throughout MPI.
How often does your committee meet?
We meet once a month for about an hour to an hour and a half. We currently are meeting on Zoom, but once people are feeling comfortable again, we host our get-together at Summit Chicago!
What are some tasks people do for your committee?
Our tasks include introducing yourself to your new member buddies and making a connection with them. From there we update, call, email them when an event is happening, let them know about engagement/committee opportunities and make sure they do not miss any updates. We are also responsible for notifying those whose memberships are needing to be renewed and ensuring they do not miss that.
What makes your committee fun or stand out?
As I mentioned before, we are the first people to welcome these members to our chapter! We get to make the first impression on what their experience is going to be. It may seem like a lot of pressure, but it is so fun to share our personal experiences and get others excited for what is to come for them. We also get to participate in a lot of networking events like our Membership Days, Coffee Talks and New Member Mixers! There are so many opportunities for making connections!
