Inside Look From the President - March 2020

Dear Members,

I hope that you are staying healthy in these unprecedented times. COVID-19 has hit our industry hard; the devastation has caused it to shut down. We are among the first to feel the effects and will be among the first to be called back when it’s safe.  For now, we’d like to point out a few resources available to everyone.

COVID-19 Updates & Education

There are many resources available to help us navigate these fast-changing circumstances.  MPI has created a toolkit called Your Trusted Meeting & Event Resource so that you can keep abreast of the latest industry updates, take advantage of free webinars or join the online community during these very challenging times. For additional information, you can also find the link on the MPI THCC web site.

Scholarships

If you are experiencing a financial hardship and need help, the MPI Foundation is taking applications for scholarships to cover membership dues and registration fees for attending WEC. 

Stay in Touch

Virtual events are our way of meeting and providing education at this time. It’s important that we stay connected.  Stay in touch with your family, friends and colleagues via FaceTime or schedule a Zoom meeting or virtual happy hour!  

Let us know how we can help.  We look forward to returning to our new normal lives as soon as possible and in good health.

Thanks for all you do. Take care of yourselves.

Sincerely,

Marcia Williams, CMM, CMP
2019-2020 MPI THCC President
