Want to get to know your board of directors a little better?

Meet President-Elect – Heather Brown (PRA Chicago)!

1.  How long have you been with MPI-CAC?
I have been a member of MPI-CAC since April of 2013 — eight+ challenging, inspiring and exciting years!

2.  What committees, if any, were you on before joining the board?
I was a committee member turned co-chair for both the Trivia Night Committee and the Annual Awards and Recognition Committee prior to joining the board. I also collaborated with the Holiday Party Committee and the Golf Committee during my time as VP of special events. When I served as VP of finance, I had the fortunate opportunity to work with the Partnership Development Committee (PDC), and I am currently honored to work with our new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee.  

What is your role on the board?
President-elect

What is one goal for MPI-CAC you have in your position this year?
My biggest goal for this year is to learn the role of the president, inside and out, and to start prioritizing important initiatives for next year. Our members have been through a lot in the last year and a half, and we as a chapter will continue to adapt to their changing needs.

What do you like to do when you’re not working?
More than anything, I love spending time with my family and friends. Trips with my nieces and nephews, home renovations with my husband and time in my hometown of Galena are a few of my favorite things. I also love cooking, gardening, canning, running, reading and anything that is adventurous.
