Hello, MPIGNY!

It's hard to believe that Autumn is upon us and that the year is passing by more quickly than expected. As we approach this time of the year, we give thanks for all that we have and the good fortune we've enjoyed. Unfortunately, as we all know, many communities have suffered from the recent string of devastating hurricanes. It is at times like this where we often see the very best that humanity has to offer, especially in an industry like ours that is so dedicated to our community near and far.

After 9/11, MPIGNY was in awe of the support that we received from other MPI chapters and from our industry. Now, we are fortunate enough to be able to give back to other chapters and industry colleagues in need. Last month, we were able to make a donation to the MPI Houston Area Chapter's Disaster Relief Fund, for which they are extremely thankful. We wish our industry friends who are affected all the best as they continue to move forward and rebuild.

Right now, the Board of Directors is creating a task force to evaluate how we respond to situations like this, so that we can maximize our assistance. We are also evaluating how we can help Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, affected areas of Florida and the other Caribbean islands that have been negatively affected. If you have any feedback, please do let us know. You can email is at info@mpigny.org.

The Board of Directors looks forward to seeing you, our members, at our upcoming events. Now is the time to come together as a community and reinforce our connections.

All the best,

Josh
