July Volunteer Spotlight: Liz Hogan

"Volunteering on the Chapter Members Advisory Council has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I love having the opportunity to hear directly from members around the world and work alongside dedicated volunteer leaders and MPI staff to help drive meaningful change. The opportunity to learn from others’ perspectives, exchange ideas, and help implement changes that shape the future of MPI is something I’m truly honored to be a part of."- Liz Hogan, Member, Chapter & Membership Advisory Council, Southeast Regional Council Vice Chair; from MPI North Florida Chapter



June Volunteer Spotlight: Khris Baizen

"Volunteer leadership reminds me that our influence isn’t measured in titles, but in the people we help along the way. I serve because someone once saw something in me—and I believe in paying that forward, one conversation, one seat-at-the-table, one future at a time."- Khris Baizen, Member, EDI Committee, the Emerging Professionals Advisory Council, and MPI Foundation Grants & Scholarships Committee; from MPI Sacramento/Sierra Nevada Chapter
