PRESIDENT'S CORNER

Good day, fellow MPI New England members!

As we began a new MPI year on July 1, I find myself continually thinking about all the exciting things ahead for this chapter! However, as your new chapter President, I must look back and see all that was accomplished during the past few years. I hope to continue the trajectory my predecessors built. For both Kate Page, our now Immediate Past President, and Ainsley Onstott, who finished her Board Service in June after serving as President in 2020-2021, the years they led this chapter were tumultuous and uncertain. Yet they led with grace and strength and we persisted, the chapter and industry came back. We are a group of 268 members as I type this,, due in no small part to Kate and Ainsley’s leadership.

Looking forward, your newly-inducted MPI New England Board of Directors- Kate Page, Hollie Herrick, Taylor Grinnell, Tom Fitzgerald, Jr., Ellen Oullette, Susanna Flores, Bethany Murphy, Kara Bishop, Joe Souza, Theresa Fitzpatrick, Katie Butler, and Linda Robson, and a group of incredible committee members- are eager to get the year started!

Our first event of the new year is the sold out Educational Summer Soiree on July 13 in Boston’s Seaport district. Three experiences at three incredible restaurants for a unique and fun learning experience! We are pretty excited about this new take on an Educational event. Our annual Summer Outing at Community Rowing in Brighton is next up in August. The outing will be held on August 10, and is certain to be a fabulous night of networking and Charles River-side fun. Further along in our year is the Annual Educational Institute! That event will be held November 7 and 8 at the beautiful Sea Crest Hotel in Falmouth. Keep an eye on our chapter social channels and our website for information on both events. I hope to see you there!

I’d also love to see you at a committee meeting! It’s been said before, but I truly believe you get out of your MPI membership what you put into it. Volunteering for your chapter builds your network, expands your professional experience, creates opportunities for experiences and personal connections that you would never imagine. As a Board of Directors, we are working toward a more inclusive, diverse and equitable chapter. For potential committee members, we hope you will join us in that work. We value new ideas, creativity, and especially a sense of humor. If you’re thinking about volunteering, please connect with me; president@mpine.org.

I’m honored to be your President this coming year and cannot wait for you to see all that MPI New England has in store!

Sincerely,
Marjie
