In joining MPI, I was not prepared for the immediate welcome and networking opportunities. The MPI Greater Orlando Chapter has allowed me to directly connect with meeting planners and vendors that I have been able to partner with to expand my client base.

I was born and raised in Orlando and then lived and worked for 12 years overseas in Europe. Having this experience, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many European vendors at IMEX America which opened several potential client partnerships for my organization. I believe that my involvement in MPI has helped me tremendously in connecting with businesses that were previously unaware of the solutions my organization provides.

I’m a strong believer in community involvement and as a Military family I believe Selfless Service is a requirement not an option. Being a member of MPI, I have been able to volunteer and help with the community outreach programs and continue this important Service to others. I look forward to the upcoming year and I can't wait for the continuing ROI on my MPI Membership, for me and other members.
