The Festive Season Has Begun!

My favorite month of the year is upon us! The holidays are around the corner, we are starting to wind down and welcome in 2023.

November started with two great CSR activities. First, a group of MPIGNY members joined other volunteers and the team at GMHC to hand out food packages to their members. Following GMHC, we had a team take part in God’s Love We deliver’s “Race to Deliver.” The MPIGNY Team raised a total of $2,530.

November also brought us the Annual Auction & Mixology Madness which was hosted by the Hard Rock Hotel New York. Our Special Events team delivered an incredible event which was enjoyed by everyone that attended. Congrats to the Mixology winners!

Something that I am so happy we were able to do was donate to the victims of the latest hurricane to hit Southern Florida and Puerto Rico on behalf of the MPIGNY Chapter members. This was all possible due to the generosity of our members over the years.

As I mentioned in my last message and will continue to all year 😊, it takes a big team of volunteers to execute these outstanding events. We need YOU, our members, to jump in and assist where you can. How can you help? What are your interests or skills? It doesn’t need to take a large amount of your time. It can be as little or as much as you would like to dedicate. We will work with you and your schedule. Please reach out to me or any of our Board Members if you want to or are able to get more involved with the Chapter. We would love to have you! You should have received an email from the Chapter with a survey titled “Find Your Fit.” Please complete the survey if you are interested in volunteering.

This month we have two great events on offer. On December 7, we are partnering with the MPI Tennessee Chapter for a virtual event titled “Rockstar Leadership: Owning your Personal Brand.” You can register here.

We close out the year with the Annual Industry Holiday Celebration which is being held at the Manhattan Center on December 19. Registration is open.

We have some exciting things happening in 2023, one being a new format of this newsletter. Keep a look out for the January 2023 edition.

If I don’t see you before the end of the year, I want to wish you all a very happy holidays and looking forward to continue on this journey with you in 2023.

Hope to see you there or at some of other upcoming events!
