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 – Annual Awards Recognition Celebration Committee

Vice President, Special Events – Tanya Mishigian

Director of Special Events, Holiday Party and AARC – Jonathan Zani

Co-Chairs – Michelle Dallas and Stephanie Swaney

What is your committee responsible for?

Our committee is responsible for planning the Annual Awards Recognition Celebration (AARC), which celebrates the contributions of our chapter’s hardest working volunteers and recognizes those who are making an impact on the meetings and events industry. The simple purpose is to just reward and recognize our members. 

How often does your committee meet?

We meet every third Tuesday of the month. 

What are some tasks people do for your committee?

The committee works closely with the Office of the President and Awards Selection Committee to develop appropriate programming, create the presentation and script and is also responsible for managing the committee budget and securing sponsorships for items outside of the budget.

What makes your committee fun or stand out?

We get to celebrate our peers! And after the year we have all had we deserve to celebrate. Also, we hosted the chapter's first-ever hybrid event so you can be a part of history.
