This Request for Proposal (RFP) includes requests for hosting Basic Ingredients Workshops, Master Series Programs, CMP Study Group Sessions, Learn on Location Programs, All Team Meeting, Committee Volunteer Day and Monthly Meetings, as well as the chapter’s special events to include the Silent Auction, Spring Fundraiser and the Awards Gala. As a host sponsor of any of these programs, you will gain exposure to program attendees as well as our entire membership base through a variety of sources – brochures, announcements, website listings and emails to name a few. These are premier opportunities to showcase your facility and services to the area’s leading meeting professionals. There are also some opportunities for non-facility suppliers to showcase their products and services.
Now is your time to make a difference. Be an exciting part of the Philadelphia Area Chapter by nominating fellow chapter members or yourself to serve on the Philadelphia Area Chapter Meeting Professionals International’s Board of Directors for 2011-2012. Please take a few moments to think of the individuals who have made a difference in this Chapter through their volunteer efforts – this might be the perfect opportunity for those individuals to move into Chapter leadership and make a positive impact to benefit all of our members. You must be a current Chapter member in good standing to submit nominations or to be considered for a position by the Nominating Committee. Deadline to submit is Friday, January 14th! Don’t miss your chance to make a difference!

Meeting Professionals International (MPI) has commissioned Leeds Metropolitan University to manage a three year study into the importance and value of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to the meeting and event industry. This study, the most comprehensive of its kind ever undertaken, intends to bring new insights into how the meeting and event industry can build a sustainable future through best practices.

The Awards Committee is currently soliciting nominations for Chapter Awards in five categories. This is your chance to highlight and honor a member or members that you feel have gone above and beyond when it comes to Chapter and industry involvement. The five categories are Planner of the Year, Supplier of the Year, Tomorrow’s Leader, Chapter Leader and Volunteer of the Year.
Without our chapter volunteers – their time, energy and dedication to making our chapter successful we would not be where we are today. In an ongoing effort to recognize and reward our volunteers PAMPI will be awarding TWO monthly awards to deserving volunteers.
To recognize these volunteers we are relying on our membership at large to nominate those people that have made a difference in our chapter through their volunteer efforts.
Please join us in recognizing outstanding volunteers and look for your opportunity to nominate a deserving member each month or by sending in your recommendations to the PAMPI Office at staff@pampi.org.
