The strength of our chapter is truly our membership, who are professionals committed to advancing the meetings and events industry and their own careers through continuous learning, volunteering, and by sharing their experiences within a welcoming community. I am truly lucky to work alongside such amazing people and with a board of directors who are incredibly talented and have our chapter’s best interests at heart. I look forward to the coming year as we are guided by our new three-year strategic plan to further the success of the chapter and our industry.
