Volunteer Spotlight
  
Many studies show that while millennials are a generation of entrepreneurs, Gen Z will be even more entrepreneurial than any other cohort. This is a shift from the typical 9-5 at a corporate company to people wanting to work for themselves, create their own hours and even work remotely from anywhere in the world.

Our industry is filled with people, vendors, attendees, clients and friends, however, after a discussion with a professional friend, I realized that being surrounded by people can be lonely and the importance of the MPI community.

There are many reasons we are members of MPI. We may have joined to expand our network, stay updated on trends in our industry or broaden our knowledge in our field. Without the dedication of our colleagues, these benefits of our membership could not be achieved.

In July, we will have an opportunity to give thanks and celebrate the best in our industry; members who have contributed to professionalism in our field, kept our chapter on its mission and inspired many.

We asked Katie Callahan-Giobbi a recent recipient of our Chapter Leader of the Year Award what her recognition meant to her and she replied "MPI-CAC represents the best of who we are, being acknowledged by the chapter is an honor I will always cherish, but mostly, I am thankful for the friends and colleagues I have met along the way." Let’s celebrate our friends and colleagues!

Please take a moment to nominate one of your peers to recognize all that they have contributed to our chapter. Let’s thank our nominees for all that they do and celebrate their achievements in July.
