Every great community has someone who makes sure every voice is heard.

The person who welcomes new faces, values different perspectives, and helps create spaces where people feel seen, respected, and included.

Their superpower is bringing people together, creating connections, and building a culture where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and thrive.

Sound familiar?

Maybe you're the person who notices who's missing from the conversation.

Maybe you're the one who makes people feel welcome.

Maybe you believe our chapter is strongest when every member feels like they belong.

If so, we need you.

Board applications are open through Monday, June 8.

As we build the next MPISCC Board of Directors, we're looking for leaders who understand that innovation comes from diverse perspectives, meaningful collaboration, and a commitment to creating opportunities for everyone.

Because the best teams are built by people who make space for one another to shine.

Every successful chapter needs people who can bring others to the table, cultivate relationships, and help create opportunities that benefit the entire membership. That's exactly what our leaders do.

As we continue building our 2027 Board of Directors, we're
still looking for members with unique strengths, fresh perspectives, and a willingness to make an impact.

The Board application deadline has been extended through Monday, June 8.

The question isn't whether you're a superhero. The question is: which one are you?

MPISCC’s Education Roadshow Series has been named a MPI RISE Award recipient for Innovative Educational Programming.

This recognition reflects what MPI does best: volunteer-led leadership that advances the profession through education that is practical, timely, and built around member needs. The Roadshow was designed as a repeatable learning platform across our region, delivered with a consistent program framework and strong local relevance at every stop.

Thank you to the Past President and Board leadership, the Education team and committee volunteers, our destination and venue partners, speakers, and sponsors, and most importantly, the members who showed up ready to engage and contribute.

More to come on how MPISCC is applying what was learned from the Roadshow across our broader education strategy.

Some people walk into an event and see a ballroom.

The Experience Architect sees possibilities.

They see the attendee journey. The details no one else notices. The moments people will remember long after the event ends. They can solve problems on the fly, keep calm when plans change, and turn a vision into reality.

Sound familiar?

The Experience Architect represents the creative thinkers, planners, and detail masters who help bring ideas to life. Whether you're an event professional by trade or simply someone who loves creating meaningful experiences, your perspective could make a lasting impact on the future of our chapter.

Board applications have been extended through Monday, June 8.

We're still building our team of heroes, and we're looking for members who can bring creativity, innovation, and fresh ideas to the table.

Will you answer the call?

Every great chapter has someone who makes people feel welcome, valued, and connected.

The person who remembers names. The one who checks in. The one who helps turn a room full of strangers into a community.

Captain Community represents the relationship-builders, listeners, connectors, and advocates who make MPISCC stronger every day.

Maybe you're the person who naturally brings people together.

Maybe you're passionate about creating a sense of belonging.

Maybe you've benefited from this community and are ready to help shape it for others.

If so, we need you.

Good news: We've extended the application deadline to Monday, June 8.

We're still assembling our next Board of Directors—and our league of superheroes isn't complete yet.

Every hero brings something different to the team. Different perspectives. Different experiences. Different strengths.

The question isn't whether you have a superpower.

It's whether you're ready to use it.

Applications close Monday, June 8.

Some people join a committee.

Others show up, dig in, make things better, and somehow still keep their sense of humor intact.

That’s why we’re thrilled to recognize Julie Fry as MPISCC’s Q1 Volunteer Impact Award honoree.

As part of the WE | CON committee, Julie brought the kind of energy every volunteer team hopes for: thoughtful, reliable, generous, and fully in it. From planning conversations to ex*****on details, she helped move the work forward with care, creativity, and commitment.

WE | CON takes a village. A very talented, slightly sleep-deprived, deeply committed village. And Julie was an important part of making it all happen.

Please join us in giving her a well-deserved round of applause for her stellar contribution to WE | CON and to the MPISCC community.

We've Expanded Our Board Leadership Opportunities - and Extended the Deadline!

As MPISCC continues to evolve, so does the way we serve our members.

To strengthen our events, education, and member experience offerings, we've restructured and expanded our Programming Department with several new and updated leadership opportunities:

- VP of Events & Experiences
- Director of Education
- Director of Event Design
- Director of Regional Engagements (now aligned within the Programming Department)

To give members the opportunity to explore these updated roles, we've extended Board applications through Monday, June 8.

Whether you're passionate about designing experiences, developing educational content, or creating meaningful connections within our community, there may be a role for you.

Every great organization needs someone who can see the big picture, make smart decisions, and ensure resources are used where they'll make the greatest impact.

The Fiscal Force represents the strategic thinkers, planners, and problem-solvers in our community who know that strong leadership isn't just about ideas—it's about turning those ideas into sustainable success.

The MPISCC Board is made stronger by members who bring different skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table. Whether finance is your profession or simply an area you've always wanted to learn more about, board service offers a unique opportunity to develop new skills while making a meaningful impact on our chapter.

Today is the final day to apply for the MPISCC Board of Directors.

If you've been waiting for the right moment, this is it.
We need strategic thinkers. We need future leaders. We need people willing to bring their superpowers to the table.

Could this be you?

Not every hero wears a cape.

Some keep calm when everything is happening at once.
�Some know exactly what needs attention first.
�Some can turn chaos into a plan and a deadline into a success story.
