IMEX-MPI Future Leaders Forum at WEC 2010

We had a record response to the call for scholarship applications for the Future Leaders Forum (FLF) at the MPI 2010 World Education Congress (WEC) in Vancouver, Canada.  The selection process was complex due to the quality and volume of applications.  

A committee of three meticulously reviewed all the submissions.  The process included multiple steps until the final FLF WEC 2010 scholarship recipients were determined.  With limited spaces available, the decisions were tough; we would like to involve all of you who have demonstrated your determination to show your skill, set your career in motion and make a difference in the future of our industry.

We are pleased to announce that the following MPI student members have been awarded the FLF-WEC 2010 scholarships.  Our congratulations go out to these recipients:

A few past Future Leaders participants agree that this is a unique opportunity:

"I can honestly say that the Future Leaders Forum was the best experience that I think any student can have." Sydney Osmun, MPI student member of the Utah Chapter

"The Future Leaders Forum was an inspiring, thought-provoking, stimulating, and energizing educational experience! Hearing from industry experts who are passionately dedicated to their work was both personally and professionally rewarding for me. I came away from the Future Leaders Forum with renewed vigor and an even greater determination to interject myself into this exciting industry full force!" Kelli Morehead, Senior Administrative Assistant to Terry Motsenbocker, North America Finance

"Attending the FLF was an unbelievably rewarding and engaging experience. The two days flew by, but will remain with me for a lifetime to come. I had individual face time with internationally-known individuals, met local chapter members and networked with inspiring individuals from all over the globe. I left the FLF feeling energized, ignited and more passionate than ever to enter a field where the colleagues treat you like a long-lost friend. I experienced firsthand how MPI & IMEX invest in their future and truly believe in their mission. I consider myself lucky to be a member of MPI." Lindsay C. Moss, M.S. Candidate in Hospitality & Tourism Management Virginia Tech
