Member Care/New Member Committee (Member Care): This committee issues new member certificates and information packets, awards 15+ year pins and coordinates new member orientation meetings. During the monthly meeting, this committee operates the Member Care Desk to answer questions and disseminate chapter information and mans the Registration Desk to assist with check-in.

Leadership Committee: This new committee is responsible for volunteer recruitment, placement and succession for the chapter. They are also responsible for the quarterly and annual awards. Some MPI-GOA committee experiences is preferred but not required.

Student Committee: This committee acts as a liaison between UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management’s students, faculty and GOAMPI. It raises MPI awareness among students, thereby increasing MPI-GOA student membership and acts as a conduit for the student chapter. In addition to the student committee volunteers, this committee consists of the student club’s faculty advisor and the annual student mini-conference chairperson.

Venue Selection Committee: This committee secures venues though sponsorship solicitation efforts for the monthly programs (working hand-in-hand with the education committee).

Sponsorship Committee: This committee updates and maintains sponsorship packages as well and contacts those interested in sponsorships. This committee works with many other committees to obtain in-kind and hard dollar sponsorships for events such as the monthly luncheon and board meeting, the MPI After 5 (happy hour) and the year-end Gala (June). The committee also works closely with the Community Outreach committee for sponsorships during the chapter’s philanthropy efforts (i.e. luncheon deliveries to volunteers at a charity function). The ROI for your participation is recognition, reward and chapter exposure at various levels. This committee is in the forefront of determining the location for the vast majority of MPI-GOA’s events and creates the experience of what the members will be viewing, touching, eating, hearing and feeling during the monthly luncheons, board meetings, special events and outings.
