"From what we get, we can make a living. What we give; however, makes a life."
- Arthur Ashe

Thanks for visiting our site!  You’ve clearly desired to learn as much as possible about our team and our efforts!

Since the beginning, this global industry has given back to create countless scholarships, chapter grants, and major industry initiatives to secure a better tomorrow for all of us!  

As a matter of fact, since 1984, through individual giving, chapter donations, strategic special events, education summits and association & corporation donations, The MPI Foundation has collected and distributed over $14.4 million making it one of largest cumulative giving efforts in our industry, touching lives and making an impact across the globe.

I consider myself fortunate to carry the torch and represent you in this philanthropic effort. I am a 25+ year member of MPI and proud to call the MPI Greater Orlando Chapter my home. I also volunteered to help the broader MPI effort in international board and committee roles while tending to my day job growing renowned international hospitality brands.

Know that I bring that same passion to ensuring this foundation serves today and tomorrow’s members. 

I encourage you to take stock of your own impact. Volunteer at local chapters, regional events, represent your association and, please, donate to this foundation!

Do something. Make your legacy matter in an industry that is one of the top 10 economic drivers in our world! 

Kevin Kirby
