November 2018 Student Relations Spotlight

Helen Taffet
Sensational Baskets & Gifts
MPI Georgia Director of Membership
Member since 2015

Helen Taffet, Director of Membership, has been busy this fall connecting with local colleges and universities to recruit potential student members. She started the “campus tour” in September at the Oglethorpe University Career Fair. The following month she visited Georgia State University and spoke to Dr. Soyoung Boo’s Event Management class. Helen’s next stop on the campus tour is Gwinnett Tech.

Did you know that discounted memberships are available for student members post-graduation, too? The Student in Transition program allows for recent graduates to continue their MPI membership with a tiered discounted rate.

We thank Helen for her outreach to the next generation of meeting professionals. If you would like to assist with the student recruitment drive, please reach out to Helen or Steven Schumacher, VP of Membership.
