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 – Membership Committee

Who are your co-chairs? Loretta Yingling and Rick Hud

What is your committee responsible for?

Membership has the huge job of recruiting new members to our chapter, welcoming members who have just joined and keeping members engaged so that they renew their memberships. We host monthly Membership Days events virtually to encourage camaraderie and networking among members, and we plan several New Member Mixer events throughout the year to welcome our new members to the chapter.  

How often does your committee meet?

Our committee meets once a month at 4 p.m. on the second Thursday, currently via Zoom.

What are some tasks people do for your committee? 

Our committee members make prospecting calls, welcome nonmembers to MPI-CAC events and make sure new members have a “Member Buddy” to answer any questions they might have as they navigate MPI. We’re all-around ambassadors for MPI-CAC and are here to help both nonmembers and current members engage with the chapter.

What makes your committee fun or stand out?

The Membership Committee is the ultimate committee for outgoing people! We’re always front-and-center at events — going up to people we don’t know, facilitating connections and making everyone feel welcome. It’s a great committee for people who want to network because it gives you a great reason to start a conversation with someone at any event!
