MPI President’s Letter: December 2024

Karen Norris, CMP (She/Her) | Jan 8, 2025
After 18 months, this will be my final President’s Message to you. It has been said: “Tough times never last, but tough people do.” To see where this chapter is after COVID, to see where this Board is after 18 months of service (versus the standard 12 months), this quote has never rung truer than today. I am so proud of this Board and this chapter, how we have grown and how much we stronger we are 18 months later. It's been a while since my last message, so I’d like to highlight the incredible work the team has done over the last few months.
