Member Spotlight - Adam Edwards

Name: Adam Edwards
Company: CCA Global Partners
Job Title: Sr. Event Specialist

Any special accomplishments at your job or in your career: We have 4 core values in our company we live by. Keep an Open Mind, Energize The Team, Show Respect and Take Responsibility. Employees can nominate each other when they feel you’ve gone above in beyond in one of those core Values. A few years back I won an award for Energize the Team.  

Any certifications: CMP, Pandemic Meeting & Event Design Certified

How long have you been an MPI member: I joined MPI in 2018

What do you like about MPI: I’ve made some real connections at MPI and created new vendor partners based on connections I made at MPI meetings. MPI helped me get my CMP through education courses and through gaining credits at our optional education sessions made available to us.  

What are you looking forward to becoming a new board member: I have huge shoes to fill in this position and want to do my best to continue the popularity and fundraising capabilities of Special Events. I’m also an avid Bingo goer so I’m super stoked about GloBingo this fall!

Fun facts about you/some person info (family, hobbies, etc.): I’m a crafty guy...from knitting, Lego’s and 1,000 piece puzzles, I’m all about creating with my hands. I love to travel and hate sitting still. You won’t find me on vacation lounging on the beach...I’m looking for the zip lining, ATV’s, parasailing or bungee jumping opportunities to name a few. I’m a dog dad of a long-haired dachshund named Goose. My husband Jason and I will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary later this year.
