What is your committee responsible for? We are responsible for identifying, developing and implementing effective recruiting strategies to increase awareness and participation in the local MPI community. We are the front line, and the first impression of our board and members. We aim to recruit through a variety of industry educational conferences, industry meetings and networking opportunities.

How often does your committee meet? We meet the second Tuesday of every month, more often if necessary.

What are some tasks people do for your committee?

• Talk to non-members about the benefits of joining MPI
• Attend all the MPI-CAC events, to be a friendly face
• Follow up with members who may have forgotten to renew their memberships

What makes your committee fun or stand out? It’s a really great group of people who see the value in MPI both personally and professionally and want to “pay it forward” to bring on new people – and give them the exact same, if not better, experience!
