Join an MPI CRV Committee and Get the Most Out of Your Membership!

EDUCATION COMMITTEE MPI educational programs stretch our industry knowledge and help us grow professionally. Become part of the team that designs, plans and organizes great continuing education programs that keep members coming back!

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE Our membership continues to grow thanks to the help of our membership committee! This team actively answers questions from interested meeting professionals, recruits new members and reminds us when it’s time to renew our membership.

COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE Communications committee members help us get the word out about who we are, what we offer, and what’s coming up on the calendar. Join the team that manages our social media, writes our newsletters, and creates PowerPoint presentations and new website content!

FINANCE COMMITTEE This exciting committee works the ‘behind the scenes’ of the chapter. The members of the finance committee help organize the budget, sell sponsorships, develop the special events that our chapter members love and select the venues where we hold our monthly meetings. Don’t be afraid if you don’t like working with finances, we have a chapter administrator who handles all the scary stuff.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Your go-to source for explaining what it is all about! Ask about joining a committee, being on our Chapter’s board, or becoming a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP). We’re your help desk and love to answer questions!

Get the Most Out of Your Membership by joining an MPI CRV Committee today!

Serving on a committee boasts two satisfying rewards: it helps the chapter accomplish their goals for the year and helps you grow in your career! Whether you have a few hours a month, can take on a single task, or are curious about becoming a future board member – we have a place for you!

Benefits of becoming an MPI CRV committee member:

1. Enhance your skills

Think of it as free career building! Have you always wanted to strengthen your skills in a particular area? Fill in your knowledge gaps by serving on a committee. You’ll gain experience in areas that go beyond your current work duties.

2. Expand your network

You’ve heard people say, “you get out of it what you put into it.” With our broad membership of planners and suppliers MPI CRV offers opportunities to get connected with fellow industry professionals. You never know what doors may open for new business, job opportunities and great friendships!

3. Show us your hidden talents

Sometimes we get engaged when we can do something we are comfortable with. We just never know who may be a great writer, photographer, social media guru, fundraising organizer, etc. The list goes on and on! Let us know your strengths and we will direct you to the right committee that lets you put them to good use.

4. Take action between jobs

Between jobs? Volunteer work on a resume makes a stronger impact than open gaps. Serving on a committee not only helps strengthen your skills, it can set you apart from other candidates.

So what are you waiting for? Think about the good you can do for yourself, while building a stronger Connecticut River Valley Chapter of MPI. Contact Director of Leadership Development Charles Drago, [email protected] to share your interests and learn about opportunities to get involved!
