Executive Leadership Program

For our most senior and executive level industry professionals who have progressed beyond the need for meeting and event management education, MPI is developing a leadership program (MBA level, focused on business executive leadership skills) for presentation at its conferences or as a stand-alone opportunity, along with opportunities for on-going engagement between members of this community.

MPI has appointed an Executive Advisory Council to provide guidance on the development of a more robust value proposition and program deliverables specifically for executive leaders with global responsibility that includes the management of meetings, events, travel and adjacent spaces.

The members of this Council are:

Chair: Angie Pfeifer, CMM – Investors Group
Craig Ardis, CMM – Zimmer
Joann Kerns – BMS
Patricia Kerr, CMP – Manulife
Julie Lindsey – GAP
Margret Moynihan, CMP – Deloitte
Carol Muldoon, CMM – KPMG

Birgit Roeterdink, CMM – Spcorp
Jess Singsaas – Microsoft
Panos Tzivandis – Swift
Marcia Willett, CMP – Ingrammico
Ann Godi Chisenhall, CMP – 360Benchmarc

The Executive Leadership Program Council is hard at work developing the structure and materials. A projected Summer 2010 launch is scheduled.
