Welcome to April, MPIGNY!

As NYC welcomes the spring weather, we invite you to join us for a busy few weeks with our chapter. Volunteer with MPIGNY as we visit God's Love We Deliver on Monday, April 15. Be sure to register for this popular volunteer opportunity; spots are limited, and this fills up quickly!

Our ever-popular After Six Mix at Sanctury Hotel New York drew a great crowd, and it was certainly one you wouldn’t have wanted to miss. In addition, we are thrilled to continue to share further details on the 2019 MPIGNY Kalahari Resorts Golf Outing. July 18 will be here before we know it, so take advantage of the sponsorship opportunities before they’re gone.  

Continue to get the most out of your membership by volunteering for a committee. Below you will find details about these available opportunities.

Cheers!

Join your fellow MPIGNY members for two special volunteer opportunities benefitting God’s Love We Deliver.

Without the help of amazing volunteers, the organization would not be able to cook and deliver over 6,800 delicious and nutritious meals each weekday to neighbors in need. Volunteers work in the kitchen, deliver and package meals and work in their office. Learn more about God's Love We Deliver by viewing this video!

On March 27, we had a great turnout for our After Six Mix at the beautiful Sanctuary Hotel’s Tender Lounge near Times Square. It was a great way to kick off a new fresh season of After Six Mixes with a lot of new business connections made. Everyone loved touring the hotel’s many amenities and learning about their private event spaces, especially their expansive three-level, all-season rooftop! Thanks to Regina Gonzalez and the Sanctuary Hotel for being such fantastic hosts!

Join the Recognition Committee this spring to help put together another fantastic Genie Awards! Want to know more or interested in being a sponsor? Email info@mpigny.org for more information!

The Genie Awards is MPIGNY's premier annual event that celebrates the past year with special awards and recognition, as well as kicks off the coming year with the installation of the new chapter officers. It's an evening full of surprises and celebration!

Did you know that MPI can help you cover costs for a preferred MPI membership and help fund your MPI Academy courses (including CMM, HMCC, Experiential Event Series, Meetings Essentials, Basics Boot Camp and more)?

Yes, it’s possible. The MPI Foundation provides MPI members professional development and career opportunities through grants and scholarships. MPI Foundation scholarships are accepted on an ongoing basis. Applications received by the end of the month will receive notification by the end of the following month. Conference scholarships do not typically follow the normal application cycle but will be reviewed each month. 

More information can be found here: MPI Foundation scholarships
