KBC MPI Members Speak

“As someone who is still in the early stages of my career in Meeting and Event Planning, being a part of the KBC MPI chapter has been absolutely invaluable. Networking with experienced planners has helped me to see the depth of opportunity that exists in the meetings industry and the educational offerings have provided tactics I’ve used to improve the participant experience in my existing meetings and programs.”

Molly Marsh, Council on Licensure, Enforcement, and Regulation

“My KBC-MPI Membership has been priceless to me. Through my continued involvement with KBC I have grown tremendously professionally and personally. I continue to volunteer with KBC and reap more benefits from the time investment than I could have ever imagined. Thank you KBC-MPI for playing such a significant part in my current success.”

Tina Bowling, IAM Solutions

“Relationship building is an important aspect of my duties as a corporate planner, and the networking advantages to our membership in MPI is what I find most useful.”

Aileen Hawes, CMP, UPS Public Affairs
