Editor's Notes
- #2 Webinar etiquette by Jessie / Video started by Jessie / Video ended by Timothy Welcome to MPI!. New members from Canada, Mexico and the United States are joining us today. The goal of new member orientation is to provide you with a general overview of many of the benefits offered to our members in order for you to develop a plan to make your membership experience meet your expectations. I often like to refer to MPI as if it was a gym membership. You have to show up, participate, and continue to come back in order to see the results you desire. The more time you spend with us the better the results will be.
- #3 Meeting Professionals International begin in 1972 by Robert (Buzz) Bartlow. 159 charter members came together to share their knowledge on planning meetings and events and talk about the advancement of this profession. That same year the very first MPI chapter was established which was the Rocky Mountain Chapter. Our mission today is still very similar to the vision Mr. Bartlow had in 1972. Today, MPI Is comprised of 18,500 members belonging to 80 chapters and clubs in 22 countries around the world. 43% of our members are planners, 46% are suppliers and the remaining are students and faculty.
