Overview

Women dominate the meetings industry, representing somewhere between 70%-80% of the total workforce. However, women remain a minority in terms of executive leadership and have yet to achieve gender pay equity.

Members of the MPI Women's Community enjoy specialized education designed to help them fulfill their career potential and which is focused on actionable next steps women and their allies can take to raise awareness, and help close the leadership and pay gaps that currently exist.

Who is Eligible to Join?

 

Although the education and social activities for the MPI Women’s Community are designed to educate and empower women and women-identifying MPI Members, men and male-identifying MPI Members are welcome to join MPI Women community as allies. MPI Women is an inclusive community because we want to eradicate gender-based crimes, ageism, bias and discrimination in our industry. That means we need cooperation from 100% of the population.
