| | | Thank you, MPI-Virginia! | | As I rotate off the board in 2025, I want to extend a huge thank you to my fellow board members as well as to so many wonderful volunteers who have helped reimagine our chapter over the past 3.5-years in my tenure in the Office of the President. It has been my great privilege, both professionally and personally, to work alongside so many gifted professionals within our meetings industry. | | There is an unbelievably impressive leadership board in place to lead us boldly into 2025 and beyond. I would encourage all MPI-Virginia members currently on the sidelines to seek opportunities and serve where and when you are able. | | | | Godspeed to all and Happy 2025, | | Steve Tewksbury, CMP | | 2023-2024 Immediate Past President | | MPI-Virginia |
