2022 Awards Reception

Celebrate the milestones with us at our 2022 Awards Celebration!

This year we're combining the annual Awards Party with EduCon! All EduCon attendees are invited to celebrate in the beautiful Starlight Ballroom at the conclusion of our event. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of MPI, and we will be honoring all those who have made our local chapter and industry with an amazing ceremony!

We hope you will be able to join us for the full day (click here for more information), but if you can only attend the Awards Reception, please click on the link below to register.
