Message from Our President
Embrace the beauty of the changing leaves and the crispness in the air as we welcome the fall season. Just as nature prepares for a transformation, let us also take this time to reflect on our own growth and progress. In this season of change, may we find inspiration to adapt, innovate, and continue reaching new heights together. Wishing you a season filled with successful events and fruitful collaborations! There are many opportunities to get involved in our chapter so I encourage you to think about your areas of interest and complete the Find Your Fit Survey. Joining a committee can provide you the opportunity to build your network, expand your knowledge and utilize your expertise. Regards, Jennifer Jennifer Rondinelli President, MPIGNY MEET OUR VOLUNTEERS: THE DIRECTORS' DEN
Motto: Attitudes are Contagious... so, Have a Great One I am currently a Group Sales Manager at The Founders Inn & Spa in Virginia Beach, Virginia. While I cover regular markets like Association, Nonprofit, & SMERF, I also get to have fun with some more unusual events like dog shows – how crazy is that?!

Pre-Con
Are you ready to participate in the most exciting competition of the year? If so, the MPIGNY 37th Annual Auction and Mixology Competition is HERE! The entry fee is low, and the return is high. We are capping our teams to EIGHT, including two mocktail contenders – a brand new addition to this year’s event. You can form your team here. The 2022 winning cocktail – Pear Pressure – was the perfect festive drink concocted using ginger-infused whiskey, fresh pear juice, cinnamon simple syrup, and garnished with rosemary. It was brought to us by The Iridium NYC and their partner, and local craft whiskey favorite, Misunderstood Whiskey. The winning cocktail is also featured at the annual Genie Awards, in addition to general bragging rights... We are looking forward to kicking off the holiday season on Tuesday, November 21 at the InterContinental Times Square with an evening of networking, creative cocktail tastings, showstopping performances, and bidding in the silent auction throughout the evening. Watch as we build our very own Canstruction sculpture with proceeds going to City Harvest. Don’t forget to promote your business by donating to the silent auction! Stay tuned for event registration in the coming weeks, but for now, mark your calendars! Contact Ingrid Wiggberg with at ingrid.priscilla.w@gmail.com for more information.
