Erin Leary: Engaged Member of the Month

How did you become involved in MPI?
Kaiser had been members for about a year before I really had the change to get involved.  We hosted Fall Leadership Day for MPI-CAC and I connected with the co-chairs that day and asked how I could be more involved!

What has been the most exciting moment or memorable thing that has happened since joining MPI?
It was at one of the Signature Luncheons.  There was a AWESOME spoken word artist- I can't remember his name but his references to the event industry were spot on!

How did you become part of the event industry?
I actually majored in Italian and International Studies in college!  I was working on the financial sector about 5 years ago when I made the transition to restaurant sales!

How has MPI impacted your career?
I am a relatively new member so I am still getting my bearings within MPI.  I can say for certain that I have learned so much about teamwork, management, and networking from the short time I have been on the Leadership Committee.

Tell us something unique about you?
I own a jewelry company!  It's called BeBuddhaJewelry and I spend most of my free time in the metals studio creating!  http://www.bebuddhajewelry.com/
