The MPI Regional Council Northeast US is one of eight regional councils spanning the globe formed by MPI in 2024. In its inaugural year, the MPI Regional Council Northeast US has adopted a mantra of “Communicate, Connect, and Collaborate” while working toward common goals in five pillar areas identified by MPI: Education, Membership, Finance, MPI Foundation, and MPI Strategic Events. In addition, all regions are currently collaborating on a shared database of speaker recommendations to facilitate excellence in future educational programming. 

The MPI Regional Council Northeast US is comprised of representatives of eight chapters (MPI Connecticut River Valley, MPI Greater New York, MPI Middle Pennsylvania, MPI New England, MPI New Jersey, MPI Philadelphia Area, MPI Pittsburgh, and MPI Upstate New York). The MPI Regional Council Northeast US meets monthly virtually to track progress toward shared goals and to exchange best practices. 

The chapter representative for MPI Upstate New York Chapter in 2026 is Wendy O'Duffy.
