1-Year Membership Scholarship Recipient
I was fortunate to be the recipient of a 1-year membership this past October via a scholarship. Having 20 years of hotel experience and deciding to take the leap of faith, believe in my ability and bet on myself I became an independent planner. Along with taking the leap comes the uncertainty of a consistent paycheck yet still wanting to be a part of the important organizations. Those that mean what they say, help where they can and receive you with the level of hospitality we speak about to our clients.
I am a member of MPIUNY, soon to join the board and help whenever I can. This time is unprecedented and MPI is definitely helping make this transition as easy as it can be.
