Aloha to our MPI Aloha Chapter ‘Ohana,
On behalf of our 2019-2020 Board of Directors, I wanted to send our deepest aloha to all of you and your ‘ohana. Our industry and community has drastically changed in the recent weeks and we are all in this together. By lifting each other up and supporting one another, we will get through this and our industry will come back stronger than ever.
MPI Global and our Aloha Chapter are here to support you. I wanted to share some updates from MPI Global as a resource through these times:
The Aloha Chapter will be postponing our upcoming in-person events. Please visit our website for the most up-to-date information on events taking place in the future: MPI Aloha Chapter Events. We are excited to share that we be hosting a free virtual pau hana on April 14th celebrating “Global Meetings Industry Day,” also known as GMID starting at 4:00 pm. Please share the invitiation to everyone in the community as we encourage members and non-members to join us! It will allow us time to come together and support one another. Please be on the lookout for the invitation via email and social media. We ask that you re-post it to your social media outlets so everyone in our community can participate!
During this challenging and uncertain time, the spirit of aloha and ‘ohana in our community will help us get through this together. We are committed to keeping our local connections strong and thinking of ways to collaboratively network to help us all grow and succeed.
If you have any suggestions or questions, please don’t ever hesitate to personally reach out me at 808.747.4600 or at lauren@desilvadmc.com. Your Board of Directors are here for you to support you as well. Please take care of yourself and loved ones.
Malama pono,
Lauren Manuel
MPI Aloha Chapter President 2019-2020
