Board Spotlight

Want to get to know your board of directors a little better?

Meet Director of Sponsorship Allison Hines (NHS Global Events)!

Get to know one of the leaders of MPI's unsung heroes, the Partnership Development Committee

1.  How long have you been with MPI-CAC?

I have been a member of MPI-CAC for three years.

2.  What committees, if any, were you on before joining the board?

I was on the Golf Committee and Trivia Night Committee before joining the board. I was the co-chair of Trivia Night when it was at Navy Pier!

3.  What is your role on the board?

I am the director of sponsorship on the board. I oversee the Partner Development Committee (PDC) and work alongside our association management company to secure cash sponsorships for the chapter.

4. What is one goal for MPI-CAC you have in your position this year?

While I am in the role of director of sponsorship, I have the goal of revamping our sponsorship packages and creating packages that benefit our wonderful partners. I want to do this by connecting with our partners to see what is important to them and their organizations now and in the future.

5. What do you like to do when you’re not working?

When I am not working, I enjoy walks along the Chicago lakefront, practicing yoga and Netflix binges!

Want to hang out more with Allison? You can join the Partner Development Committee or any of the other committees to get more involved!  Check them out here.

Volunteer/Join a Committee

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.

Committee Spotlight – Partner Development Committee (PDC)

Vice President, Finance – Hilary Saurer

Director of Sponsorship – Allison Hines

Committee Chair – Laura Bergersen

What is your committee responsible for?

Sourcing venues for all MPI-CAC chapter events and building and maintaining strong partnerships with cash and in-kind sponsors of MPI-CAC through collaboration with management company, marketing/communications and event and education-specific committees. We provide committees with a toolkit and expertise to use when reaching out to sponsors for in-kind sponsorships and donations.

How often does your committee meet?

We meet the third Wednesday of every month.

What are some tasks people do for your committee?

Our committee members act as liaison between the education and event-specific committees and the in- kind and cash sponsors. Our liaisons ensure that the standards of recognition are implemented at all chapter events and all chapter sponsors/partners are being well-served with well-managed relationships.

What makes your committee fun or stand out?

Our committee stands out because while on the PDC you not only get to experience and learn about MPI-CAC partners and sponsors, but you get work with other committees and help them achieve their goals.
