This year’s Annual
Meeting marks the beginning of a new chapter for
MPI/NE. The year of transition is OVER! We are
moving forward and striving for a “BOLD NEW
YOU”! We will
welcome our keynote speaker, Bruce MacMillan, President
and CEO of MPI, to share with us his views about
the ever changing meeting industry, specifically
during the last year and most importantly, his vision
for the future of MPI International and how it will
affect the New England Chapter.
MPI/NE is moving forward with a “bold new you
initiative”. We are bringing together our community
with new enhanced education and development of
our marketplace. We have heard
our member’s feedback and we want to deliver valuable
programs in the coming new year!
In addition to promoting our new initiatives,
we will recognize and reward our prominent members
and volunteers for their time, dedication, and
hard work that have helped our chapter move forward
in reaching our goals and our mission. During the
awards ceremony, we will honor the achievements
of deserving MPI/NE volunteers as Meeting Professional(s)
of the Year, Tomorrow’s Leader, Chapter Leader
of the Year and scholarship awards.
We will also take the opportunity to “Thank” and
“Welcome” our outgoing and incoming President & Board
of Directors. We will all join together to witness
their pledge to us, as members and as a community
for MPI/NE.
Join us in our celebration
and bring your clients, prospective members,
friends and family! Buy a table and make it an
evening! Table opportunities will only be available
during pre-registration. So don't miss out!
Become a part of the "New Beginning" as
