What is your committee responsible for?
The Partnership Development Committee is responsible for sponsorship and member engagement. We are responsible for making sure that we meet our sponsorship goals for each event, as well as taking care of our sponsors and members needs, so everyone can gain the most out of their sponsorship and membership.
How often does your committee meet?
We will meet once every 2 weeks.
What are some tasks people do for your committee?
Some tasks that people do in my committee is become a liaison for upcoming events and help with all sponsorship needs. Being a liaison for an event educates you on the behind the scenes of the event and introduces you to new supplier outreaches. Being apart of PDC, you get to network and learn about suppliers, creating new relationships and enhancing your education in every aspect of the event industry.
What makes your committee fun or stand out?
Something that makes my committee fun is that we are all passionate about bringing good to MPI and getting MPI members, suppliers and planners to get the most they can out of their membership. We all have a positive attitude and bounce ideas off one another.
The best way to get the most out of your MPI-CAC membership is by joining a committee. It’s a great way to network, utilize your skills or challenge yourself to try something new! We know everyone has busy schedules, but many of our committees have a variety of tasks that can be done in just one hour a month!
Committees are always looking for members with leadership skills, creative mindsets and the drive to collaborate with fellow industry professionals. Click here to see the full list of committees and to fill out the committee interest form.
