MPI So Cal Connect

2020 was a year unlike any other, and its presidential election was a momentous one. In November, Election Day turned into Election Week with the results hinging on mail-in votes being counted in battleground states. Then America witnessed history when Joseph Biden and running-mate Kamala Harris took to the stage in Delaware after securing enough electoral votes to become the President-Elect and Vice President-Elect of the United States.

 

It was a day I will remember forever.

Last year I was asked to join the member care team for MPISCC. As a 38-year MPISCC member, with three years on the board in the 1990s as well as experience on more than 50 committees during my career, I sort of felt like I had done my bit in giving back.

 

But then I was presented with the chance to reach out to individuals whose memberships had lapsed. It was fun to reconnect with folks I hadn’t spoken with in a few years and to learn how they were doing through the pandemic. It also allowed me to share updates about the various resources and opportunities available throughout our chapter and on the national level to assist members in staying current and connected. This experience was also beneficial for me network regarding jobs and to feel like part of “the team” that I have been so proud to be a part of all these years.
