The Membership and Chapter Satisfaction Survey is one of the most important tools we have for capturing the thoughts of members. The survey is conducted in order to get firsthand feedback from members; the feedback that's necessary to ensure the needs of the membership are met. Participation ensures that every member's voice is heard and helps shape the future of our community as a whole.

On February 20, each MPI member should have received an email from Global with the subject line: "Annual MPI Member Survey Invitation.” The email will contain the member's unique URL to complete the 2018 Membership and Chapter Satisfaction Survey.

Don’t miss the chance to help shape the future of our association, plus ... a chance to win a $200 Amazon gift card! In addition, MPI-CAC members who complete the survey by March 6 will have a chance to win complimentary registration to Industry Xchange on April 12.

Give and you shall receive! Refer a friend to MPI and help them waive the $50 application fee while YOU save $25 off your next membership renewal. Share an MPI Membership Voucher today!
