Lead The Way: MPINCC Leadership Team

MPINCC Educate, Engage, IGNITE Leadership Team

The entire leadership team, 50+ strong, of  Meeting Professionals International Northern California Chapter (MPINCC) gathered together to launch the program year to Educate, Engage, IGNITE!

The Office of the President and Leadership Development delivered “Chair 101,” a deep dive into the organization’s strategies, tactics, logistics, and protocols.

The full MPINCC org chart – Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, and Co-Chairs – all attended the training at the Hotel Nikko in downtown San Francisco.

The day’s program flow reflected the program year’s theme of three imperatives: Firstly, educate, Secondly, engage. Thirdly, ignite.

The “Chair 101” agenda included why and how to recruit, manage, and motivate Committee members. Additionally, how to run the business of the world’s largest Chapter of the world’s largest association of meeting, event, and hospitality professionals.

Once the group training wrapped, Vice Presidents and Directors then met personally with their Committee Chairs and Co-Chairs. Together they planned and strategized the year ahead.

Later, the Hotel Nikko hosted a cocktail reception on their beautiful 25th floor. Panoramic City views complemented the posh ambiance, epicurean hors d’oeuvres, and animated conversation.

Throughout the day and into the evening, the Hotel Nikko buzzed with questions, comments, and engagement galore.

Unlike any other, this year’s powerhouse leadership roster included a record number of Past Presidents answering the call back to service:

  • Jody Brandes, CMP, CMM, President 2014 to 2015
  • Dana Marshall, CMP, CMM, HMCC, President 2011 to 2012
  • Matthew Schermerhorn, CMP, HMCC, President 2010 to 2011
  • Molly Walsh, CMP, President 2008 to 2009
  • Jim Skiba, CIS, CMP, CTA, President 2004 to 2005
  • Thom Ward, President 1996 to 1997

These Past Presidents, all of whom previously served at the highest level, shine in the light of their continued servant leadership.

So this President is especially grateful due to these leaders.

Because it takes a village to raise the world’s largest Chapter of the world’s largest association of meeting, events, and hospitality professionals to new heights.

Without doubt, this mighty leadership team leads the way with their commitment, dedication, and enthusiasm.

Forward, ever forward together to Educate, Engage, IGNITE!
