Stay Tuned for April's Education Event!
Aaron Clarke, VP of Education, and Pam Kammerer, MPMPI President, submitted a grant proposal to MPI Foundation to be considered for a Chapter-Developed Grant of $2,500, which must be used for a unique education program for our chapter.
Our grant is titled Meeting of the Millennial Minds: Collaborating with the Next Generation of Meeting Professionals. The MPMPI Education Committee is planning this event with the Penn State University Student Club of MPI on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 12-13, 2016, at Penn State's Nittany Lion Inn. The focus will be centered on the importance of continuing education in the hospitality industry and the changes we are experiencing.
Save the date, and stay tuned for more details!
