Welcome
Dear EGL MPI Members:
Thank you for your support of the Eastern Great Lakes Chapter of MPI (EGLMPI).
The board of Eastern Great Lakes MPI is in the process of restructuring our Chapter. The goal is to make the chapter a dynamic entity that supports the goals of each its member's individual needs through educational programming and networking.
We are pleased to announce several changes in the leadership of the Chapter. Effective immediately Kevin Marsh, a past president from 2005-2007 of EGLMPI, will be taking over as the chapter president. During Kevin's time as leader the chapter hit all time highs with membership and attendance at monthly meetings.
To assist in this mission we are looking for your assistance. Please take some time to get involved. The vitality of the EGLMPI rests on all our shoulders. There are many ways to get involved.
1. Step Up ~ We have openings on several committees ~ the time commitment is about 1-2 hours per week. If you have interest in helping out please let us know.
2. Speak Up ~ The second way to get involved if you are not able to help on a committee is to give your opinion. We are working hard to make EGLMPI a worthwhile investment for our member’s time and money. If anyone has ideas about the kind of programming that they would like to see please let us know. We already have a preliminary program schedule for the 2010/2011 year and will have it finalized within the next 6 weeks.
3. Show Up ~ The third way is to attend our meetings. We will be hosting regular meetings next year. We will communicate the details and location of the meetings at least 30 days in advance.
We are optimistic that with these changes and new breath, the EGLMPI chapter can become a vital tool for our local members.
Sincerely,
Eastern Great Lakes Chapter
Board of Directors

Latest News
MPI Members,
So you’re probably asking yourself, “What is MPINews?” or “Where’s my weekly Community Net News?” Well, we’ve made a change.
After getting your feedback on how we could make CNN a better, more useful tool for you, we kept hearing two things: relevant content in quick-read formats and the ability to read and share it anywhere, anytime and on any device. From your wish list, we created MPINews—your new weekly insider’s look into the topics most important to the global meeting and event community. (Read more)
The best part? You don’t have to spend hours and hours searching for your industry news. We’ve already done it for you. Each week, we’ll select the top stories centered on the hottest topics from around the globe, package them concisely and send them directly to your inbox.
The three sections of MPINews—“Your Industry,” “Your Success” and “Your MPI”—will help you understand global issues affecting our industry and improve your work-life balance and your career success.
And we’re not done yet. We’ll continue to adapt MPINews in the coming months based on your continued feedback, so let us know your thoughts. Send your comments and suggestions to newsletter@mpiweb.org.
Thanks and enjoy.
