How to Volunteer

MPI New England prides itself on having fantastic volunteers! Volunteering is the best way to make the most out of your MPI membership. It helps you to learn new skills that you may not get a chance to develop in your everyday role, gives you a chance to gain more exposure to the membership, and most importantly, it allows you to forge meaningful relationships with your industry peers.

Please see the committee descriptions below to get a better sense of what each committee within MPI New England has to offer. If you are a member and interested in becoming more involved, please contact Karen Bellavance or Jen St. Cyr for more information.
