As we continue to cope with this new reality dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic, MPIGNY is committed to providing opportunities for our chapter to come together — while apart. With that in mind, at 5 p.m. today, we are conducting our first in a series of virtual Networking events. Registration is complimentary for all MPIGNY members.  The objective of this Zoom meeting will be to share insights, learn more about the current state of our industry and just have some fun. 

You will hear updates from fellow members including Matt Schechter, Danielle Cattani-Post, Laura Mulholland, Jennifer Rondinelli and Andrew Barnes. Following their perspectives, we will have an open dialogue with the rest of our members to ask questions and provide commentary.  If you have yet to register, please do so by 4 p.m. this afternoon.

I am delighted to report that MPI is offering a virtual Global Meetings Industry Day on Tuesday, April 14.  Registration for this nationwide event is also complimentary and will encompass 12 hours of content from industry leaders on a variety of pertinent subjects. To register, please click here. 

MPI Chief Operating Officer Darren Temple released a video message last week announcing that MPI Academy will be providing free online content to all, including non-members. Please click here for additional information. He also announced that MPI World Education Congress is currently moving forward in Grapevine, Texas, June 6-9. Aiming to jump-start the return of our industry, the updated theme for WEC is "Reunite for Recovery". I encourage you to consider attending as global headquarters is offering registration risk-free. 

MPI is also committed to assisting with membership renewals during this time of financial hardship. If anyone has questions about their membership, please feel free to send an email to help@mpi.org or call 972-702-3053.  

Best regards,

Patrick Colomer
