Dear Chapter Leaders,
Our global membership community is now at 24,703 members.
While the economy continues to be in flux, our members are impacted by unemployment and limited financial resources, The MPI Cares Program with initiatives including Unemployment Program, Installment Payments, Career Connections, MPI Foundation Scholarships and Chapter Grants and much, much more will continue to support our members. See MPI website for more info. http://www.mpiweb.org/cms/mpiweb/mpicontent.aspx?id=21728
Our industry needs your support! We as leaders must continue to educate and activate your members on how to defend our industry against the rhetoric by the media and sweeping assumptions by our political leaders. Resources are available to you anytime on www.meetingindustrycrisiscenter.org/ or contact your Chapter Business Manager directly.
Help us know our members by encouraging them to complete their member profile. Prizes are awarded to both members and chapters each month. Click here for more details. http://www.mpiweb.org/CMS/MPIWeb/mpicontent.aspx?id=23986
