Golden Retriever Energy: Why Membership Might Be Your Perfect Fit
If the Membership Committee had a personality, it would give off golden retriever energy—friendly, reliable, and always excited to meet someone new.
This team is the ultimate connector, helping new and prospective members feel seen, supported, and inspired to get involved. From greeting guests at events to planning mingles and mentoring new members, the Membership Committee plays a huge role in shaping the chapter experience.
Whether you're a longtime member or brand new to MPI Minnesota, this is the team that keeps the welcome mat out and the good vibes flowing. It's also a great place to:
- Expand your network with planners, suppliers, and industry leaders
- Boost your confidence through leadership, public speaking, and peer outreach
- Test the waters with one-time projects—or dive deeper into a consistent committee role
- Help others find their place in the MPI community
You don’t need a ton of time—just a heart for hospitality and a passion for connection. Opportunities range from planning social events to making quick monthly calls to reconnect with lapsed members. Flexible roles and friendly teammates make it easy to jump in.
