President's Message ...

Good day MPIWC friends,

I trust you had a wonderful Holiday Season with family and friends!  It’s amazing how fast the year has gone.  Can’t believe we are already at our mid-year mark.  Guess the old proverbial saying is true, “Time flies when you are having fun.”  And, that is exactly what our Board of Directors has been doing to ensure we are meeting your needs…our valued members.

The focus of your Board of Directors has been to provide relevant educational programming, provide a forum for our Chapter members to network and to keep you informed of any new trends impacting our industry.   Hopefully, you have had the chance to experience some first-rate programming and networking opportunities in the past six months.  If you have not, we have prepared a summary of what you missed.
