Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization and now more than ever MPI MN needs your passion, energy, and drive to make our chapter and industry strong. Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, enhance your resume, and meet a diverse group of peers to add to your network.
I have been a member of MPI since 2008 and have been a volunteer member most of that time. In my volunteer experience, I have learned several skills that I would never have had the opportunity to learn, especially when I was more junior in my career. When I moved to a new city, I have always known that I could rely on my local MPI Chapter to make new, industry connections. As I have transitioned to serve on a Chapter Board, it has provided me with leadership skills that I can integrate into my job. Working with other volunteers and our members continually reinvigorates my passion for our industry – and I have a lot of fun in the process!
