Welcome!

GOAMPI is dedicated to your education, your relationships, and to celebrate your successes during your membership with us.  Our Board of Directors is committed to enhancing your experiences this year by swinging the pendulum away from the “norm” and into a new era of the way you connect with your membership!

“Educate ! Relate ! & Celebrate with MPI!”

Whether you are a new member, an existing member, or a very active member within our organization, we want to engage you more than ever this 2011-2012 year.  This is what we have planned:

Educational Tracks that will engage your mind!  Networking After Hours for those key Relationships, and Events throughout the year to Celebrate with your colleagues and business partners.  For more information on the Education Sessions, click here.

Engage your friends and business associates to JOIN MPI!  Our Membership Drive is in full swing with monthly incentives from MPI International and from GOAMPI locally.  From a $25 credit for each referral toward your membership renewal to a grand prize too fun to announce at this time!  Also presented at the Gala in 2012.

GOAMPI CARES - Our chapter is not only strengthened through new memberships, we stay effective when existing members renew. Jobs change, budgets decrease and economic recovery might seem slow, but your membership is valuable now more than ever. The MPI Member Care team stands ready to confidentially assist you with creative ways to keep you as an active member of the MPI family through payment plans, unemployment assistance, etc. Contact MPI Member Care outreach@goampi.org .

What ever your needs are for the chapter, the best thing to do is be engaged with the membership!  The more you are involved, the more your return.  Become a volunteer of one of our many committees!  Click here for more information.

 Use your skills to enhance our membership and bring it into the next era of the greatest organization in the World!

Jamey Dempsey
Play With a Purpose

What prompted you to join MPI?
After learning that there was a whole community of meeting professionals that could help me learn and grow in my position as Hero Maker at Play with a Purpose, I had to join MPI. Each month I’m afforded the opportunity to learn new ideas, strategies, and trends that I can use in my daily activities. Let’s not forget the networking.  The Greater Orlando MPI offers the “Monthly After 5”, this networking opportunity is always a blast. I’ve established great relationships, both personally and professionally through networking at this event as well as the educational events.

What do you hope to gain from being a member of MPI?
I hope to gain new relationships and build on the relationships I already have. I look forward to learning new trends in the industry and having fun while doing it.

What are some of your special interests or hobbies?
There are many interests I have from golfing, camping, and riding motocross. But living inFloridahas made me a Professional Pool Floater. Every day I make it a point to practice my craft, sometimes with a nice cool beverage or just a good book.
