Message from Our President
 

Where did January go?! The holidays seem so far away now. It is great to see everyone so busy again. We are definitely back to business now!

I hope everyone is enjoying our new newsletter, the “MPIGNY BUZZ”. Do let me know your thoughts and if there is something you would like to see in future editions.

We eased into 2023 with a great After 6 Mix at Dave & Buster's. The evening was filled with fun and games. My inner child shone through, and I was very focused on winning as many tickets as possible!

Would you like to give back to the hospitality industry? We need YOU, our members, to jump in and assist where you can. How can you help? What are your interests or skills? It doesn’t need to take a large amount of your time, it can be as little or as much as you would like to dedicate. We will work with you and your schedule. Please reach out to me or any of our board members if you want, or are able, to get more involved with the chapter. We would love to have you! You should have received an email from the chapter with a survey titled “Find Your Fit.” Please complete the survey if you are interested in volunteering.

This month we have a few events planned. First, we will be at God’s Love We Deliver for another great CSR activity on February 7, from 4-7 pm. You can register here.

On February 23, join us for the Winter Networking Social – "Glamour, Gatherings & Golf" at the Martinique New York starting at 6 pm. Registration is open.

Hope to see you there!

Best,
Andrew
