A Message from your 2026 Chapter President

 

I am deeply honored to serve as your MPI Georgia 2026 President. With more than 25 years in the hospitality, tourism, and meetings and events industry, I’ve been continually inspired by the creativity, generosity, and authentic connections that define this chapter. MPI Georgia has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back alongside an exceptional Board of Directors whose leadership, passion, and dedication make this work meaningful.

Together, we are proud to Lead with LOVE—Living Our Vision Every Day. This vision guides our chapter’s strategic plan, a purposeful roadmap designed in 2025 to strengthen engagement and inclusivity, elevate education and communication, encourage statewide collaboration, and support volunteer recruitment and retention. It reflects our shared commitment to thoughtful progress and lasting impact. 

Our greatest strength is you—your involvement, creativity, and commitment to excellence. Together, we are united by a common passion for the meetings and events industry and will continue to create opportunities that inspire connection, foster innovation and build meaningful relationships which will move our chapter forward. 

 Thank you for your continued commitment to MPI Georgia and I look forward to an amazing 2026!
