MPI MN February 2021 President's Message

By: Barb Madigan, Senior Sales Executive, Minneapolis Marriott City Center | Feb 2, 2021

MPI_20_BarbMadigan300Love is in the air!  This in my theme and focus this month. Heck, I will keep it the rest of the year.  During the social unrest and the aftermath of the election, our country has seen much divide.  We all can have our own views and beliefs but now is the time we come together in love to heal our country and community. 

My other word is hope.  I am embracing this as the vaccines are distributed, our kids start to return to school, businesses begin to re-open, and people slowly begin to gather in groups.

I want to express my love for our chapter. This year we have had to ask our members to take on more volunteer opportunities as we have lost some volunteers and members due to employment changes and lack of time due to additional workloads because of the pandemic.  We have also had additional needs with adding programs for networking such as the coffee chats and our Diversity Equity and Inclusion Taskforce. 

You have been understanding and supportive when we have had to pivot events from Live to virtual. So supportive that we achieved our fundraising goal for the silent auction that went virtual.

Our annual educational conference “WeConnect”, which is typically held in February, was originally thought to go virtual. However, we have made the decision to be in person for this conference in May. The contract was not signed as I was writing the message but we will get the details to you ASAP.

So the end of the year will be packed with in-person events, Global Meeting Industry Day in April, we will ReConnect at WeConnect in May, and our year-end celebration in June.  Thank you for all of your support and commitment to MPI!

Warm Regards,
Barb Madigan
#wewillmeetagain.
