I love summer. It is a time of year I recharge my batteries, reflect on the past six months, and look ahead at all I still have to accomplish. I believe the same holds true for KCMPI as we begin its new year. It is impossible to list all of last year’s successes, which we celebrated at our Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony in June. (Read more about the awards ceremony by clicking here.) The easiest way to quantify the chapter’s accomplishments is in one sentence: KCMPI exceeded every metric goal that was set for us by MPI Headquarters! A sincere thank you and congratulations goes to 2013-2014 President Tricia Clement, the Board of Directors, committee volunteers, our sponsors and Chapter Administrator Cheryle Grinter. Without their energy, efforts, hard work, and continued support and dedication this would not have been possible. Now it is with renewed energy that we look at the coming year as we focus on Mapping your Future Success. Your 2014-2015 Board of Directors have diligently been working since the spring to ensure the momentum continues. We’ll be bringing you your favorite programming, such as After 5’s, Field 2 Table, Trivia Night, the Catering and Restaurant Showcase, but also adding some new creative ideas to the mix as well. Look for some relevant important topics, such as International Meetings and State of the Industry; and some more entertaining ones, such as Dress for Success and Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s. Details of these programs, as well as opportunities such as scholarships, CMP classes and job openings, will be communicated through Connections, KCMPI Times and our website. As we begin our new year, this is the ideal time to find a committee position that best suits your interests and goals. Join the drive to surpass what we have already accomplished, which will make the investment of your membership even more valuable. Visit www.kcmpi.org for the list of committees or send me an email and let’s talk about how you can be involved! I’m very excited for our year ahead and look forward to your participation in making it a grandeur one! Sincerely yours,  Karen Hoch |

I still remember the night just like it was yesterday ... I was 12, our family was visiting my Dad who was based in the Sultanate of Oman as a bank consultant for the International Monetary Fund. Not having seen us for almost a year, he took us to dinner at the newest hotel at the time, the Al Bustan Palace. It was the most beautiful hotel I had seen in my 12 years of earthly existence. The ceilings were painted with gold, the staff in their crisp white uniforms, the impeccable service, the intricate décor, marble floors matched with the plethora of languages spoken in the background, smell of spices, the glamour of being in such an environment ... Wow – I want to work in a place like this!
That stayed with me four years later when it came time for college. Then again when the time came to apply for a job. Then again when I moved to the United States, when I was determined to be a part of the hospitality industry even if it meant starting from the bottom and working my way up. Fast forward to 24 years later, I remain involved in my chosen industry with the same passion as when I started. The point of all this, as long as we keep a clear vision of where we want our future to be, with unbreakable determination, limitless humor, honest work, constantly being open to new challenges and experiences, and most especially always being in the mindset of how our actions can help others ... we can all experience success in our own definition. This issue includes various content to help Map One’s Future, whether it be in the area of new jJob openings, educational opportunities through local colleges or industry affiliations, member information (to answer two questions – "Who knows you?" and "Who do you know?" that could affect your future), etc. The KCMPI Times Team, in partnership with the Board and our members, have taken valuable time and a lot of effort to produce what you are now reading. We hope you learn at least one new item that helps you progress into your future.
To quote Zig Ziglar, "How you see your future is much more important than what happened in your past." Till October,

The evening began with a rooftop
cocktail reception followed by dinner, recognition of KCMPI’s outstanding
volunteers and sponsors, and a one-of-a-kind performance painting by Mike
Debus. He had the audience in awe as they watched him create his artistic
version of the famous Kansas City landmark, the J.C. Nichols Memorial
Fountain. In addition to the live
auction of Debus’ painting, the conclusion of KCMPI’s online silent auction
created competition and buzz among the more than 80 attendees.|

Attendees from both chapters learned to ask, "How do you know when
Folks walked attendees through the thoughtful process that a meetings manager must undertake in order to thoroughly and accurately go about accessing and implementing re-invention in meetings/ convention. The session allowed for ample audience interaction and was lively at times. Folks reminded members of both organizations that "the worlds of our attendees are changing so rapidly, we have to change with them!" |

your meeting/convention needs a boost or a re-tool?" John explained that many factors can help answer that question when you consider the changes in technology, generational changes of attendees, emerging international markets and economic challenges. We learned that when considering major changes to a meeting/convention, you need to find a change agent that will be on your side to support you at the executive/decision level. Get this "buddy" on your side to help advocate for the changes you desire..jpg "Speaker, John Folks mingling")

5 Lesser-Known Email Etiquette Rules You Might Be Breaking Can we have a moratorium on "gentle reminders?"
By Alison Green Do this repeatedly, and you'll create a
reputation for yourself as slow to get back to people. The solution
is easy: Send a quick email saying, "I should be able to get back to you
about this by early next week." That takes 10 seconds, and then you
haven't left anyone hanging. It can be especially tempting to send this two-letter reply if you're
emailing from a phone, where typing a longer reply is more difficult – but some
situations warrant waiting until you're back at a computer (or can talk
in-person, which remains an option!). Emailing from a phone doesn't absolve you
of your responsibility to think about how your message will come across. |

JCCC recently completed a $13-million, free-standing, culinary academy. This is a tremendous investment that greatly benefits the culinary talent in this town. The new academy houses seven kitchens: five culinary labs, an innovation kitchen and a demonstration kitchen in a theater that seats 75. The facility serves up to 900 students enrolled in the college’s nationally recognized hospitality management program. And here’s food for thought: A community sponsorship program, "Friends with Taste," offers memberships to the public, ranging from $100 to $500, that provides first dibs on cooking classes, special dinners, tour and events at the center. Membership or not, you can try out food prepared by the academy students at Café Tempo on the campus. This foodie haven is housed inside The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. You can also drop by on Friday afternoons at 3 p.m. to buy baked goods from the pastry case right inside the front door of the HCA. The chef apprenticeship program at JCCC is sponsored by the American Culinary Federation, the Greater Kansas City Chef’s Association and the U.S. Department of Labor. The three-year program consists of 6,000 hours of training under an American Culinary Federation chef member as well as formal coursework. It is the first program in the United States to receive American Culinary Federation Educational Institute accreditation. More than 100 local Kansas City restaurants use talent from JCCC in their kitchens. Foundation Supports JCCC’s New Hospitality & Culinary Academy The Hospitality and Culinary Academy is officially open for classes, and the public dedication was last October 2013. The one-story building, located directly south of the Regnier Center parking garage and easily visible from both College Boulevard and Quivira Road, will serve the 700-plus students in JCCC hospitality management programs and allow the college to offer more continuing education classes for the general public. The building cost $13 million, about $3.2 million of which was raised by the JCCC Foundation. The project was launched with a $750,000 challenge grant from former Kansas State Sen. David Wysong and his wife, Kathy. Other leadership gifts include support from the following:
The 36,000-square-foot building houses seven kitchens: five culinary labs, an innovation kitchen and a demonstration kitchen in a culinary theater. A soaring 18-foot high lobby will make the building feel much larger than a one-story building, said Lindy Robinson, dean, business. Innovation kitchen: This glass-walled space, located to the left of the lobby, gives visitors a chance to see the college’s award-winning culinary team in action as they practice for competitions. Currently, the team practices in kitchens in the Office and Classroom Building, tucked away from public view. Visiting chefs also will be featured in the innovation kitchen, Robinson said. The Wysong Family Culinary Theatre: The 75-seat culinary theater, located to the right of the entry, is equipped with a modified kitchen and back room preparation area for cooking demonstrations. A video production room and equipment allows demonstrations to be taped and aired on the college’s cable channel. The tiered theater will become home for entry-level classes and will allow those classes to grow to 40 students, Robinson said. Culinary labs: Two labs will be used for professional cooking classes, one for pastry classes, another is the Ball Family Garde Manger Culinary Lab, or cold foods kitchen, and the last of the five labs is a restaurant kitchen. The restaurant kitchen will adjoin the Regnier Family Dining Room on the east end of the building that will be used for Thursday hospitality luncheons and other events. The Regnier Family Dining Room also will be available for other events. In fact, with the lobby area and an outdoor patio on the east side of the building, the academy could be host to a number of events, Robinson said. The Ball Family Garde Manger Culinary Lab is designed so that it can be used for meat fabrication, she said, with tracks in the ceiling that can be used to hang a side of beef. While JCCC student chefs may not have to do their own butchering, they need to know where cuts of meat are from and how that affects the cooking method used. Meat fabrication possibilities don’t end with JCCC student chefs, Robinson said. The lab would allow the college to offer continuing education classes for butchers entering the field. Other continuing education classes could feed the hunger to learn about cooking fueled by the growth of the Food Channel. "People want to take our entry level cooking classes, but we can't do that now," she said. With the new building, those classes could become a possibility, along with summer cooking classes for kids, which have been requested by parents for years. Hospitality management faculty and staff will be housed in the building as well, with an office suite that accommodates 15 or more people. The building also contains classrooms, workspace for adjunct instructors, a conference room and the Maron J. Moore Hospitality Library. DLR Group in Overland Park designed the building; J.E. Dunn was the general contractor. New Culinary Building at JCCC Earns LEED Silver Rating OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The new Hospitality and Culinary Academy at Johnson County Community College has earned a LEED Silver certification. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a nationally recognized green building certification program that rates buildings based on their energy-saving and environmentally friendly construction. It is supervised by the U.S. Green Building Council. Buildings are rated by independent parties and accrue points in seven categories: sustainable site, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation and regional priorities. The rating is based on the number of points scored out of a maximum total of 110 for the system used in rating the Hospitality and Culinary Academy; the academy received 51 points. "The LEED rating is more than just a plaque on a wall for us," said Rex Hays, associate vice president for campus services and facilities planning. "It reflects the value we place on being good stewards of the earth and good stewards of taxpayer money." The Hospitality and Culinary Academy is the third JCCC building to earn a LEED rating. Galileo’s Pavilion, a classroom building that opened in 2012, earned a platinum ranking and the college’s Olathe Health Education Center that opened in 2011 earned a gold ranking. |

When an airline loses your luggage, it can take hours or even days to get someone to tell you where it ended up – if it ever turns up at all. Wouldn't it be easier to hear from the luggage itself? That's the promise of "smart luggage," in which GPS tracking chips are embedded in bags capable of transmitting their locations to travelers and even contacting airlines directly when they get lost. The jumbo jet maker Airbus introduced a concept design for smart
luggage at the Paris Air Show last AT&T (T,Tech30) unveiled a similar concept at a demonstration of its "next-generation technologies" in May. The company envisions integrating the product with standard suitcases and bags – perhaps through an attachable tag – though it could also be built into suitcases directly. The ultimate plan is for the luggage to work with airlines' IT systems, contacting the carriers directly and arranging for delivery to your home or hotel. These products are still in the developmental stage and will need approval from federal regulators, but they're sure to find some grateful customers: U.S. airlines mishandled over 141,000 bags in April, according to government statistics, or about three bags for every 1,000 passengers. |
year. The product, known as Bag2Go, can be
tracked via a smartphone app. It also allows for self-service check-ins and can
weigh itself to ensure that it meets airline requirements. |
KCMPI was well represented at MPI’s 2014 WEC. In fact our chapter was one of four to win the WEC Challenge sponsored by the Great Wolf Lodge. As a challenge winner, we will receive either $1,000 for our chapter or three WEC 2015 registrations. More to come on this in our next issue! So what happened at WEC 2014? For starters, Minneapolis truly knew how to welcome participants and roll out the red carpet. They had countless volunteers working around the clock helping the more than 1,000 attendees and exhibitors. There was not a corner at the convention center without a warm Minneapolis smile. Discovery
was a constant word at WEC, which seemed to focus on the main areas of personal
and professional growth; and technology.
This was accomplished through three main styles of learning: general
session, interactive breakouts, and peer-to-peer learning. It is impossible to cover every aspect of
WEC, so following are a few of my highlights:
Dr. Deepak Chopra: Among many of his accomplishments, he has invested his talents and time to working with Delos Living to create Stay Well meetings. Look for more details in future publications as this trend continues to grow! Dr. Chopra shared with us a few interesting tips on how to live each day:
Nolan Bushnell: The founder of Atari and Chuck E Cheese’s – and he hired Steve Jobs! He was a favorite because of his wisdom and simplicity. Some things to note:
Laura Schwartz: She was the White House Event Director under President Clinton. Hysterical and a ball of fire, she went deep into how to successfully network and create your opportunities. Her presentation was titled: Must be Present to Win!
Each day, participants looked forward to the Flashpoint Idea Assembly at the General Sessions, which were short 15-minute previews of upcoming breakout sessions. Campfire sessions were engaging 30-minute sessions with the ambiance of a campfire! These sessions covered topics anywhere from negotiations to health to partnerships. Yoga Express Break! What better way to re-energize than a 30-minute gentle yoga class. WEC offered several opportunities to learn more about health and how to incorporate it into your meetings and everyday life. Look for more on this topic at a future KCMPI program! So much more information can be found on the WEC 2014 web pages. Be sure to check it out! Save the dates for WEC 2015 in San Francisco |

PLANNER PROFILE: Tony Ballard For the past two-plus years, I have been a member of MPI. I have found great value in this organization by being involved on a couple of committees and now also being involved on the board. MPI at the national level and KCMPI at the local level have both helped me to make valuable connections to other planners and suppliers all around the globe. Educational and social events have given me the opportunity to interact with other professionals in my field and have given me the opportunity to be better in my professional life and in my personal life. Tony Ballard
What Does KCMPI Mean to You? KCMPI has meant something different to me at different times throughout the last 3 years of my membership. When I first joined KCMPI, I was focused on attending programs to obtain CEUs and study for the CMP exam. The CEU hours came way easier than the knowledge needed to take the CMP exam. I finally took the test in November 2013 and passed!KCMPI eventually meant volunteerism to me ... especially KCMPI’s connection to the Rose Brooks Center which the KC Chapter chose to support in conjunction with all of last year’s educational programs and again with this year’s programs. For 2014-2015, KCMPI means growing our numbers, which I am glad to have the opportunity of achieving for our Chapter in my new role as Vice President of Membership. The Chapter Leader’s Forum in Minneapolis on August 2, held prior to the World Education Congress (WEC), allowed me to gain new and useful information to help me reach this goal. Lynn Gross, CMP |

Tony Ballard, program coordinator for Kansas State University Conference Services, received the Rising Star Award from Kansas City Chapter of Meeting Planners International (MPI). This award recognizes a chapter member of less than three years who has contributed extraordinarily to the organization with his or her dedication, vision, enthusiasm, willingness to participate, volunteer efforts and commitment. Ballard works in conference services, part of Kansas State University Global Campus and teaches an event planning course on campus. In addition to the award, Ballard was elected vice president of education for the organization. "Meeting Professionals International is the largest global organization for meeting professionals of all types," Ballard said. "As a member of the organization, I have access to some of the premier industry talent in all aspects of meeting planning. Organizations such as MPI help organizations like ours stay ahead of the rapid changes taking place in the meetings and events industry." Skilled meeting professionals like Ballard help organizations use their time and financial resources efficiently and aid in accomplishing the objectives of their event in the most effective way. "At the university level, a meeting professional allows each college to focus their personnel resources on the education of our students while the meeting professional focuses on the logistical aspects of producing a great event," he said. Ballard accepted the award at the annual meeting and award ceremony June 19 at the Terrace on Grand in Downtown Kansas City. "It was great to be a part of the 2014 award ceremony," Ballard said. "I am honored to even have been nominated for the award and am equally honored to have received it. It was a great evening for myself, for K-State conference services and Kansas State University as a whole." |
