Leading on Your Feet: Vital Leadership Values for a Constantly Changing World with Andrew Tarvin
 
Today’s leaders have to be able to unlock the talent of those around them, adapt on their feet and show confidence leading through change, regardless of where they are located. In short, they have to improvise. This is not about “winging it,” but rather leveraging existing experience and strengths to execute with excellence in the moment.

 

In this engaging and interactive virtual program, you’ll learn the vital leadership values needed to lead in today’s fast-changing world. Fusing the latest in leadership theory with key techniques from improvisation, your audience experiences what it means to lead on your feet.
 
Time: 5 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Location: Zoom

The Past 30...
On Thursday, Nov. 19, MPIGNY welcomed back Genie Award Nominee Jamie Mason Cohen to lead us through an inspiring virtual education workshop on "THE ONE BIG THING: Business on the Brink of a Breakthrough" sponsored by Visit Raleigh.

 

In this session, Jamie shared 14 key findings from his interviews with meeting and hospitality business owners for his TV pilot, "Business on the Brink."

It is with a heavy heart that we join our MPIGNY community in mourning the passing of Doug Heath. A long-standing fixture in the meeting and events industry, Doug was a former board member of MPIGNY and the first CEO of MPI Global.

 

One of MPI's 172 charter members when it was chartered in 1972, Doug remained involved in the organization throughout his career. He led learning sessions, won a Planner of the Year Award and was elected to the board of directors in 1982, although he never served, as it was then that he accepted the position of MPI's first full-time, paid CEO.

The Visit Raleigh team has worked hard to be diligent and creative in the way they do their jobs during the pandemic. We have truly missed hosting meetings in the Raleigh area, have been working with our venues on health and safety protocols and are ready to restart planning whenever clients wish to talk.

Chapter Opportunities
 
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.
