Celebrate Global Volunteer Month
MPI relies on its volunteers in support of achieving its strategic objectives and mission. Volunteers contribute knowledge, skills and time to MPI chapters, committees, and boards, and in return, our volunteers learn, grow, meet new people and expand their network. Numerous opportunities are available at the chapter and international levels. So join us now and build those relationships within our community while helping us make this industry stronger. Here’s to MPI volunteers! volunteerexperience@mpi.org
