MPIGNY 30/30

MPI Greater New York Chapter

Message from Our President
We have turned the page to August and are officially in the middle of summer. It is great to see New York City beginning to open back up as neighborhoods in all five boroughs are embracing the outdoor dining concept, and several industries are getting back on their feet. While we realize there is still a long way to go before the industry returns to pre-COVID levels, we are starting to head in the right direction.

As our city continues to reopen, we are reminded again of the impact closing has had on organizations like God’s Love We Deliver that rely heavily on volunteer staff to fulfill their commitments. Due to social distancing guidelines, God’s Love has had to minimize the number of people in the building overall and in the kitchen area, especially. Yet, they are still committed to serving over 10,000 meals per day.

Chapter Opportunities
At MPIGNY, our members are family, and in challenging times, we believe in taking care of our own. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial hardships many are experiencing as a result, MPIGNY has set up a community support fund to provide monetary grants to our colleagues who need it most. If you are in need of assistance during this or any of life's more difficult moments, we may be able to help.

 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.
