MPI Potomac's Member Engagement & Community Outreach Committee
As the summer humidity wanes and the autumn crisp starts to fill the air, Member Engagement and Community Outreach (MECO) wants chapter members to fall into engagement — both within the chapter and out in the community. Read on to rake in what that means in practice and how you can get involved with their efforts.
About the committee
The MECO team strongly "be-leaves" in its dual purpose: one, to encourage members to get involved with the chapter and two, to enhance the chapter’s presence in the DMV and the local hospitality community. Member Engagement helps members feel connected to the chapter, through actions like matching prospective volunteers with committees and hosting MPI Potomac Insider events. Community Outreach ensures the chapter makes a positive impact on the community by branching out to nonprofit partners and organizing hands-on service projects.
Current projects
MPI Potomac Insider: This hourlong, virtual program is perfect for new members or those looking to re-engage with the chapter. Be on the lookout for the next Insider event!
Community Outreach is finalizing two yearlong, nonprofit partners to serve as the cornerstone of our volunteer plan. Keep an eye out for additional "tree-tails," including how you can get involved, in the coming weeks.
Representatives from Member Engagement will be at upcoming in-person events, eager to help create new connections. If your networking skills are a bit rusty, come (pumpkin) spice them up with us. Look for the blue “Ambassador” ribbons.
