Dear valued MPI-CAC members and supporters,

I am thrilled to venture into the new 2022–2023 fiscal year with you as the President of the incredible MPI Chicago Area Chapter! We have some hard work ahead of us as we continue to recover and rebuild after the pandemic, but I know that together we will achieve our goals. An important aspect of growing and improving the chapter is ensuring we infuse Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility initiatives into everything we do, and our IDEA mission is at the heart of all our chapter priorities.

The mission of the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Committee (IDEA) is to create equal opportunities and a welcoming and inclusive environment for our entire MPI-CAC community.

As leaders in our industry, we are inspired by the call to action towards inclusiveness that our members, and the world, rightfully expect of us. Your board of directors and chapter leaders hear that call, loud and clear, and are ready to keep pushing our mission forward. In fact, we have already begun by shifting educational content to reside under the umbrella of IDEA. This effort is to ensure we are imparting this critical initiative into all our educational programming.

I also look forward to working closely with each of you to identify the many other ways we can create experiences that benefit you, our members, in this unique climate. We know your needs have changed over the last few years and it’s crucial our chapter continues to evolve and meet those needs.

In the meantime, I encourage you to take advantage of the chapter’s many volunteer opportunities. Get involved in a committee and fully engage with your MPI-CAC colleagues. I joined MPI, and my first committee, almost ten years ago and my life, and career, have never been the same. I’ve learned how to be a more effective leader, formed lifelong relationships, and created new opportunities for PRA Business Events. Giving back to this chapter feels like my most important duty as I have received so much from it. It is the mission of your president and the board of directors to rebuild our chapter through increased membership, sponsorship, and engagement, but it is going to take a village to accomplish. You are a part of the village – the most important part.

I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to connecting with each one of you. “When we meet, we change the world”. Let’s do just that—together.
 
Cheers!
Heather Brown, CMP, DMCP
