The MPI Greater New York Chapter is off and running on yet another exciting year! Can you believe that we’ve been putting on events in the city dating all the way back to 1977? It’s truly incredible to be a part of such a historic chapter that has positively influenced so many careers over the last 40-plus years. With that in mind, the 2019-2020 board of directors is laser-focused on continuing that tradition by executing truly exciting and unique events for our members this year.
A key focus for the board moving forward is going to be the engagement of the meeting planner professional. We consider sustained planner participation to be a vital part of this chapter’s success. So, with that in mind, we’re rolling out the red carpet this year with the objective of increasing our planner engagement at all of our events. Many thanks to the London Convention Bureau as they are graciously sponsoring several one-year planner scholarship opportunities that will increase our planner base and enhance overall engagement. Interested planners can apply here: London Convention Bureau Planner Scholarship.
We’re also revamping pricing so all meeting planner professionals will pay only $10 to attend our networking and education events this year!
Our chapter has a bright future ahead, and we want you to be a part of it. If you’re interested in growing your own career and maximizing your return on investment within MPI, please feel free to reach out to any of us on the board as we’re truly here to help. In that spirit, MPIGNY is launching a mentorship program in which we’ll pair up a select few of our newer members of the industry (10 years or less) with some of our veteran chapter members for mutual growth and career development. The Power of Two: MPIGNY Mentorship Program will be a yearlong endeavor that we envision will be highly rewarding to the select few who are accepted into the program. This will be a minimal time commitment and something you’ll truly feel proud of!
