Join the MPISCC Board!

Why join the Board of Directors?

We understand the priority of our everyday jobs and personal lives, so many ask: Why add more work to our already hectic schedules?

Each member has different reasons for joining. We are a diverse group of professionals in different stages of our careers, with a variety of career goals, but we have one thing in common: We want to grow personally and professionally. Being on the board of directors can help us achieve that. Here are just a few of the benefits of getting involved.

MAKE REAL CONNECTIONS. Trust is a huge factor in business relationships. We all want to work with people we know, trust and like! Joining the board is a great way to meet like-minded professionals who understand the nuances of our unique industry. Whether you are a supplier or planner, forming lasting relationships with trusted partners will help you and your business become more successful.
GAIN NEW SKILLS. Whether you are looking to enhance your existing knowledge or to develop an entirely new skill set, this is the way to do so in a safe and supportive setting. Volunteering is an excellent way to boost your career prospects. Gain hands-on experience that will help you create a positive impression, make you more innovative, creative and give you a range of useful skills. Recruiters agree: Volunteering looks great on a resume!
BECOME A LEADER. Each board member at some point will have the opportunity to manage and lead a committee. This is a great experience to learn the skills to inspire, lead and make change with a group of motivated individuals.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Volunteering gives you the chance to be a part of the kind of community you want to be part of. It gives you the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Without the people who are willing to donate their time and skills, none of the educational opportunities we provide would be possible. Our chapter is the sixth largest MPI chapter globally. This is a great opportunity to make change and lead the industry by inspiring new ideas!
HAVE FUN! We know that volunteering your time while being busy isn’t always easy, so one of our main goals is to make it FUN! It’s an opportunity to meet people, learn new skills and have adventures that your everyday job may not provide. Joining the board gives you the chance to form real relationships that can have a lasting impact on your life. You could meet your new best friend, future business partner, or have a conversation that sparks a real change in your life.
