Hello MPI New England! | Happy Fall! This has always been my favorite season, including just celebrating my favorite pop culture day on October 3. | ‘Tis also the season for MPINE happenings! | Register now and come join us for our signature fall event, the Educational Institute at Sea Crest Beach Hotel in Falmouth, MA on November 7-8. We’ll come together for meaningful connection and professional development at this premier 1.5 day educational summit. Whether you are a member or non-member, planner or supplier, student or industry veteran, local or reside outside of New England, we welcome you and have a great program in store! Additionally, we have openings for exhibitors and great sponsorship opportunities available. We hope to see you there! | As the leaves change, it’s also the time to look ahead to the next changing of the guard for the Board of Directors. The 2023-2024 slate will kick off next July, but we’re already gearing up to talk to interested members and our Call for Applications and Nominations is coming soon. We’ll announce via email, on www.mpine.org, and MPINE’s social channels, so don’t miss it! Serving on the board for 7 years has afforded me the opportunity to build incredible relationships, develop professionally, and create lasting memories. MPINE has given me so much and I’m excited to partner with our Nominating Committee to build a talented team to usher the chapter forward. If you have any interest or questions about Board service, please reach out to me at president@mpine.org. | See you on October 19 for our Membership Mix & Mingle at Providence G in Providence, RI! | Kate Page, CMP, CMM | MPINE Immediate Past President | P.S. MPI celebrated 50 years in August, but there’s still time to buy an MPI cobblestone to commemorate your membership and support of MPINE! | Celebrating MPI’s 50th Anniversary in August at CRI |

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE SPOTLIGHT WITH JOHNICE VEALS |

MPI New England's Educational Institute Nov 7-8, 2022 Sea Crest Beach Hotel North Falmouth, MA Click here to register | 1. What is Educational Institute and Why Should I attend? EI is MPI New England Chapter’s annual educational conference that brings together meeting and events professionals from across the northeast for meaningful connection and professional development. And why should I attend? Honestly, it depends on what you need. We've built EI so there is something for everyone, whether you're looking for CE's, Personal & Professional Development or networking with your peers or a new vendor. EI is for you! | 2. Do I need to be a member of MPI in order to attend? No, anyone in the meeting and events industry is welcome to attended EI. Students, Event Executives, Planner, suppliers you name it, everyone is welcome at EI! | 3. What is your favorite memory from a previous Educational Institute? One of the best things about EI is you never know who you're going meet. I met one of my now long time vendors (Brand Fuel) at EI 2019. I needed to find new promotion company but I wasn't expecting to find someone at EI. I thought I would send out an RFP and go through the motions but I met Zach and his team walking around the exhibit hall and it just all worked out! | 4. Can you talk through the format and flow of EI this year in comparison to year's past? EI is a day and half the first day of education and networking. We typically begin with the full day (Day one) education and networking and move into a half day (Day two). This year we've decided to changed that. We know everyone is extremely busy right now, so we move the half day to Day one (starting at 12pm) to give people a chance to work in the morning and attend EI in the afternoon. |
