The Challenge to Lead is NOW
Welcome to the 2009 MPI Chapter Leaders Conference (CLC). This year, we will be settling down in Fort Worth, TX for three days to discuss, understand, teach, network and pro-actively address the current impact of the economic environment and how MPI can support your chapter growth in the future. The time is NOW to strategize and educate how MPI can help build stronger chapters and increase the tangible values for our members for their professional growth.
At CLC, you will receive the professional development needed to ensure your chapter's success and understand MPI strategic imperatives, vision and mission. Leaders gather to learn, discuss solutions, elevate the chapter performance and increase the value of membership, while gaining skills and business knowledge to help them personally prevail through tough economic times.
CLC will arm you with what you need to know and do NOW to be successful. Leaders will also gain a full understanding of what MPI is doing to support our chapters and members. It is all about learning how to survive and thrive. The challenge to Lead is... Now!
ABOUT
FORT WORTH
As breathtaking as any West Texas sunset, the new Omni Fort Worth Hotel offers a new taste of Texas hospitality. Conveniently located in the heart of Fort Worth's exciting downtown, the hotel stands adjacent to the expanded Fort Worth Convention Center and within walking distance from the city's burgeoning cultural centers, restaurants and nightlife.
Sculpted from native stone and rich hardwoods and wrapped in glass, the Omni Fort Worth Hotel is the newest star in the Lone Star State. Guests marvel at the dramatic displays of art and exciting venues, while meeting and event planners will remember the luxury hotel for its open and inviting spaces, its casual yet sophisticated style and a personality that's as gracious and dynamic as Fort Worth itself.
