We are elated to announce that Marin Medema, CMP, will be inducted into MPI-Wisconsin’s Hall of Fame this year.  

Marin Medema, CMP is proof that even after 35 years in the hospitality industry, you can still “have it” – a consummate professional always willing to listen, support and assist. A true mentor! She is present, engaged and continues to dedicate time and energy in many aspects of the MPI Wisconsin Chapter and other professional organizations.

She has been with The Osthoff Resort & Spa family for over 22 years and MPI-WI Chapter for 31 years. Her many accomplishments include: Board of Directors for MPI – WI Chapter, WSAE Board of Directors, past recipient of the MPI-WI Meetings Industry Advocate, Presidents Award, MPI-WI Supplier of the Year Award, and WSAE Associate Member of the Year.  And with all those accomplishments, she still answers the call to serve on many MPI Wisconsin committees!

Please join us in congratulating and thanking Marin for her service to our profession!
