Learning to lead is one of the most important things you can do for your career.
The MPI Leadership Development initiative has numerous way to both develop and showcase your leadership skills. These include becoming a mentor or mentee; engaging and educating our student members, showcasing your skills as a progressive leader, and more. In addition, you can demonstrate strong leadership skills by volunteering on a committee and serving on the MPI MN board. Read below to find out more about each of our Leadership Development programs and get motivated and engaged in your own leadership development!
Board members nominate active committee members they wish to recognize. The board members then cast their votes from the list of nominees to select the Leader of the Month. Leader of the Month recipients will be announced at non-event monthly MPI MN meetings, receive a certificate of recognition and be featured in the next edition of the Mn Matters newsletter.

Mission: To connect mentors and mentees and peer groups for professional growth opportunities. This committee has two programs for MPI MN members:
Mentoring: Power of 2 is a one-on-one mentoring program that pairs mentors and mentees based upon their goals. This award-winning program is available to all current members of MPI MN and is a three-month commitment. Mentoring is available to members at any stage in their career who are seeking to develop new skills or make progress toward professional goals.
Mentoring: Power of Peers is a new program delivering five programs per year from September through June to the MPI MN membership-at-large. With a subject expert attending, the focus of each program is to have casual conversations about current industry topics. One can expect to learn from both the subject matter expert and others (peers) at the event. Connect with our committee chair for more details »
