Paula Rigling, CMP - September 2020

By Diana Balakirov

Paula Rigling, our second volunteer of the month, has been professionally involved in the event industry for more than 35 years, 18 of which she spent working as an independent planner with a specialization in association meetings.

A member of MPI for more than 20 years, Paula has served on the board of directors and has dedicated plenty of volunteering time to numerous committees. In addition to her many contributions to the chapter, which have brought her much fulfillment on a personal level, Paula has developed long-lasting and equally as valuable relationships.

In the summer, when she’s traveling, Paula trades a month of Texas heat for the cooler temperatures of Michigan. But if she’s staying near home, she enjoys dining out with friends, reading and spending time with her husband and children.
