Now as a planner I would never miss the yearly Education Conference if I can help it. Any other events I attend have been enjoyable and educational. It always rejuvenates me and reminds me what a wonderful profession I have the honor to work in.

If you want to know excellence in both the planning and vendor side I believe a membership in MPI and being active in your local chapter is the best opportunity you have.

Name: Dan Nilsen
Title: CEO
Company: Bishop-McCann
Membership Years: Since 2001 (12-year member)

A few years after starting Bishop-McCann, Gwen Knight, B Waldo and Julie Green introduced me to MPI. At that point in time, the local chapter had been around for several years. I ended up joining because I try to surround myself with like-minded innovative people. I saw that this organization would be a great opportunity to assist in achieving that goal. 12 years later, I am still a member of MPI. I strongly support and encourage our associates in their desire to be active in the chapter whenever they can. MPI has allowed us to be connected to the global meeting professional community, expand our experience through volunteering in the chapter and promote educational advancement. I value the connections that I've made throughout the years and the relationships that have continued to grow and develop. I am proud to be a member of MPI.
