On February 16, MPIGNY hosted its first hybrid Educational Program of the year – Be Mindful, Be Bold, Be Better! Intentional Meeting Design Makes the Difference!
Our panelists, Ashley Cardini, CMP, Founder, The Mindful Masterclass; Hallia Baker, CMP, Senior Events Manager, The Netherland America Foundation; and Gregory Offner, Jr., ARM, Professional Keynote Speaker, Creator of “Disruption & Creativity” shared their unique perspectives on how to infuse mindfulness into our meetings, being bold with meeting design despite challenges, and how disruption is a prime opportunity to be creative. It was an engaging session purposely held at SaksWorks; a terrarium-themed community workspace. We were nourished by the culinary arts of CxRA to the delight of all in attendance. And in the spirit of inclusivity, TotalCaption provided closed captioning. The evening closed with robust networking. Overall, it was an intentionally experiential event with relevant content, delivered in a top-notch manner!
During this event we also held a sock drive for Knock Knock Give A Sock, which provides socks to those in need. Through the generosity of our attendees, we gathered over 20 pairs of socks and donated them to a nearby homeless shelter that same evening. We will be continuing our partnership with this organization at all of our upcoming educational events, so feel free to bring a new pair of socks along with you to our next event to help us humanize homelessness one sock at a time.
