A Message From Our President

2009-2010 Chapter President
Holly Young, CMP

It’s All About YOU…

As the 2009-2010 President of the San Diego Chapter of MPI, I couldn’t be more thrilled to have been selected to serve as the leader of such a dynamic organization. Over the last fifteen years, I have had the privilege of working under the leadership of many individuals who have grown this chapter to its exceptional position today. With the strong foundation laid by our Past Presidents, I find it only appropriate to continuing the legacy of making this year’s focus all about our members!
 
In the past few years, MPI Headquarters has shifted its approach to focus less on compliance and more on you, the member. It continues to maintain its drive to proactively elevate the meeting profession to a higher level and this year is no different. MPI continues this effort with a dynamic vision and mission that is designed to plot the future of our association and lead industry transformation in the face of an international ever changing world.

MPI Vision – Build a rich global meetings and events industry community

MPI Mission – Make our members successful by building human connections to knowledge/ideas, relationships and marketplaces

These are the road maps to the continued growth, development and success of an ever more powerful meetings industry organization. I can assure you that your entire 2009-2010 Board is committed to this vision and focus and we are honored to serve you. 

In addition to great education, the continued creation of awareness of the importance of our industry and further opportunities to increase business amongst our members…you can expect your leaders to execute every goal and objective in your honor.  We have developed goals and objectives within our Business Plan which will be posted on our website. There are no secrets or mysteries; we encourage you to take a look at what we have in store for you. I think you will be very proud of your Board, as I truly can say that I am honored to be a part of our amazing organization and a part of an incredibly energetic leadership team!

We’re here for you because it’s all about meeting and exceeding our member’s needs.  Here’s to your success in 2009-2010!

Your President,

Holly J. Young, CMP
