April Volunteer Spotlight: Anna Paul

Volunteering with MPI Global has reminded me that the strength of our industry comes from people who show up, contribute, and support one another. It has been a privilege to work alongside passionate professionals through RISE Awards Committee and Event Program Advisory Committee and be part of a global MPI community committed to the future of meetings and events.
