A New Era of Inclusive Leadership

Kicking off our program year, join us as we enter a New Era of Inclusive Leadership, with keynote speaker Minette Norman, author of "The Boldly Inclusive Leader". Make a difference this year by connecting with fellow event professionals on how to uplift our industry while focusing on inclusivity for all. Whether you're new to MPI or a seasoned veteran, you'll have the opportunity to connect and contribute with your chapter and this is a great way to kick off the 2023-2024 program!

After the Education, we will have a networking reception with drinks and light bites in the new Disney Cats & Dogs exhibit. "Disney Cats & Dogs explores the evolution and innovation of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ animal-inspired animation and storytelling through the decades, and the massive undertaking involved in bringing their iconic cats and dogs to life on screen. From loveable main characters like Mickey Mouse’s best pal Pluto, Lady and Tramp from Lady and the Tramp (1955), Pongo and Perdita from One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Duchess from The Aristocats (1970), and Oliver from Oliver & Company (1988), to supporting sidekicks such as Lucifer from Cinderella (1950) and Percy from Pocahontas (1995), Walt Disney’s love for animals and proclivity for starring cats and dogs in his films has led to their endearing portrayals and prominence in Disney’s animated and live-action films to this day. "
