Because we CONTINUE to be a BIG deal:

Middle PA Chapter wants to showcase YOU, our members, because of the success this past year (2021). Our Chapter is measured each year from MPI Global in the below performance categories:

• Member Retention
• Member Growth
• Member Satisfaction
• # of EIC events offered
• Education Satisfaction
• Chapter Net Profit

And... because of you! We exceeded each category! This success is not possible without the help of our members who attend our monthly events and give us feedback. Our volunteers who help with our many committees including Education, Special Events, Membership, Sponsorship, Financial, Administrative, and of course our entire Board. Our sponsors… a special thanks to you. Without your continual support and commitment, we wouldn’t be where we are today financially.

Again, thank you. Thank you to our members for your continual support during these unexpected times. We’re excited for 2022 and eager to adapt our curriculum to better fit you!

MPI's Middle Pennsylvania Chapter

"I am honored to continue my involvement in MPI-MP as president and part of a team that is passionate and dedicated to making our chapter one of the top performers in a large MPI family. Of course, as a hospitality career professional, I am looking forward to the continued camaraderie of our chapter in the coming year.

As our industry emerges from a very difficult period, it is good to know that we can depend on each other. MPI Middle PA Chapter has shown its character over the last 15 months as supporting, caring and open to new ideas. With the support of members, sponsors and the board we were 1 of 3 chapters receiving the “MPI Global Overall Excellence Award.”

As I begin my role as President, I will strive to continue to make our chapter an award winning one with all your help. I will continue to listen and learn from our membership, and use that information to help guide our chapter to the next level."

Peter K. Sorensen, 2021-2022 President
