A Message from the 2025 MPI Middle PA President

As we enter 2025, I am honored to step into this role as President and to lead alongside such an inspiring community of professionals. 

This year, our vision is simple: to strengthen connections, celebrate achievements, and elevate opportunities for all of you—the heart of this chapter. Whether it’s through innovative education, impactful networking events, or championing our industry’s growth, our focus remains on delivering real value to you, our members.

 MPI has been pivotal in my own journey, both personally and professionally. It has provided me with connections that matter, opportunities to grow, and a community that inspires me every day. I know firsthand the difference this chapter can make, and I hope to share that same experience with each of you—and with those considering joining us.

 We all know the power of bringing people together—and MPI Middle PA is proof of what’s possible when we collaborate, support, and learn from one another. I’m committed to continuing this momentum, nurturing membership growth, and building programs that energize and empower you both personally and professionally.

Together, let’s make 2025 a year of meaningful progress, shared successes, and moments to be proud of. Thank you for trusting me to lead. I look forward to what we’ll accomplish as we move forward—stronger, connected, and thriving.
